Whatever I want to be, I'll discuss with the president-elect [Donald Trump], because that's the best way to do it, not to create more rumors.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, never being in business, never really negotiating, give away for nothing things they shouldn't give away.

First of all, she Hillary Clinton is going to raise taxes on the middle class. I actually think that's the only truthful thing she's said in about three weeks.

I always felt, and I still feel, that the media doesn't belong in a public official's private life. It's a very difficult balance, because if you are elected to public office, people have a right to know a great deal about you, and the press has an absolute obligation to report all of that. But the reality is that there are times in which the reporting is really happening for almost voyeuristic reasons, in the gossip columns. Maybe half of it is wrong, and half of it is correct, and a lot of it is exaggerated. You've just got to get used to that if you're in public life.

When you say black lives matter, that's inherently racist.

Lincoln made mistakes. Roosevelt made mistakes. Eisenhower made mistakes. The Battle of the Bulge was the biggest intelligence failure in American military history, much bigger than any in Vietnam or now. We didn't know that the Soviets were moving 400,000 or 500,000 troops. We missed it.

I think that sometimes the most intelligent things that prosecutors do is when they exercise their discretion not to go forward with a case.
