While chants of 'Lock Her Up' reverberated through the ballroom at Donald Trump's election night party in New York City, the president-elect's confidante Laura Ingraham suggested the new administration avoid investigating Hillary Clinton.

'I think there are a lot of people who just want to turn the page and move past this very rancorous time in American politics,' Ingraham said this morning on the 'Today' show.

Ingraham is reportedly on the short list for press secretary, so she made it clear to Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie that she was 'not speaking for the administration' when she said that she didn't think 'most Americans want to spend months and months and month going through what the Clintons did or didn't do at the foundation or with the private server.'

For months leading up to the presidential election, Trump had classified his Democratic rival as 'crooked' and suggested he would come after her if he were elected into office.

Ingraham, a popular conservative radio talk show host and a Fox News contributor, suggested that there might not be much appetite for that now that he's won the White House.

'If I were on the outside commenting on it, I'd probably say let's just move forward and get beyond that,' Ingraham said, stoking the fire that she's in serious consideration for press secretary.

'I think a lot of people want to turn the page and they want a fresh start,' she added.

Addressing the press secretary rumors, Ingraham noted that the Trump team was currently focused on the cabinet. 'Which I think is the proper priority,' she added, while saying that it's a privilege – 'I know it sounds cliche,' she inserted – to be considered for a White House job.

She added that she's done more than she gets credit for as a talking head, including clerking at the Supreme Court for Justice Clarence Thomas and working as a speechwriter for Ronald Reagan.

As far as the Trump Administration's relationship with the press, she suggested it be 'very transparent' and 'practical.'

The president-elect already made headlines this week for slipping his pool reporters to have a meal with his family in New York City. Trump is supposed to allow journalists to travel with him at all times.

'I think the press has a lot of work to do to build back its credibility,' Ingraham said, explaining that she believed many Americans thought the media was 'in the tank for Hillary Clinton.'

'I know people don't like to hear that, but that's how most people view the press today,' she added.

She continued by saying that Trump wants 'someone who knows the issues, who is going to try and explain them to the American people and keep people updated,' for what the president-elect expects for the press secretary job.

'I don't think it's that complicated,' Ingraham said.

The talk show host then complimented those she knew in the media.

'I think there are a lot of great people in the press,' she said.

'I've known a lot of reporters who are covering the White House for many, many years. I happen to be friends with a lot of them – we don't agree on everything, but that's OK,' she continued.
