In separate reports on Tuesday’s NBC Today, correspondents Peter Alexander and Kristen Welker accused Donald Trump of employing “scorched-earth” political tactics by promising his supporters that he would continue to investigate Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal if elected.

At the top of the morning show, Alexander proclaimed: “Last night the Republican nominee showing no intention of backing off the pressure he’s putting on both Hillary and Bill Clinton....In front of packed house in Pennsylvania, Donald Trump practicing scorched-earth politics....Egging on his supporters who believe Hillary Clinton should be behind bars.”
