Former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has slammed President Donald Trump and Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore over their alleged sexual misconduct, criticising them for not "accepting responsibility" for their reported transgressions as Democratic Senator Al Franken did in the face of recent sexual allegations against him.

US President Donald Trump has launched a Twitter tirade about the "guilt" of Hillary Clinton and the opposition Democratic Party.

Former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton would soon release a book titled "What Happened" in which she would opens up on her stunning 2016 election defeat to her Republican rival Donald Trump.

The study, which analysed viral tweets during the final two months of the 2016 election race, showed that Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, was much more heavily criticised on the microblogging site as compared to her rival Trump.

Hillary Clinton has said she takes responsibility for her loss to Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential race, but blamed Russian interference and the timing of a letter from FBI Director James Comey as factors depriving her of an otherwise expected victory.

Hillary Clinton trolled US President Donald Trump after a federal appeals court rejected his bid to reinstate a temporary ban on citizens from seven Muslim-majority nations, the media reported.

Choosing his words carefully, Trump stopped short of saying he accepted findings shared across those agencies that Russia waged cyberattacks on U.S. political institutions to influence the election. He called the brouhaha over the findings part of a political witch hunt.

He was announced the winner after electors from Texas cast ballots and put him over the 270 electoral votes needed to win. The results will be officially announced on January 6 in a special joint session of Congress.

The recounting has been spearheaded by third-party candidate Jill Stein who indignantly tweets, "I will do a recount in any state where the deadline has not passed."

In a new interview with New York Times, President-elect Donald Trump took a completely U-turn on several of his previous statements. He appeared to temper his stance on a handful of major campaign promises in an hour-long interview with the newspaper on Tuesday afternoon.
