ByJillColvin The Associated Press NEW YORK Republican Donald Trump promised on Monday to be "fair, but firm" toward the estimated 11 million immigrants liv- ing in the United States il- legally, a shift in tone that raised questions on whether he's backtracking from pre- vious pledges to push for mass deportations. The billionaire business- man, whose hard-line ap- proach to immigration and fierce rhetoric propelled him to the GOP presiden- tial nomination, insisted that he's not "flip-flopping" on the divisive issue as he works to broaden his sup- port two and half months to the general election. Polls show him trailing Demo- cratic rival Hillary Clinton in both national polls and battleground states. But in a meeting with Hispanic activists on Satur- day, Trump indicated that he was open to considering allowing those who have not committed crimes, be- yond their immigration of- fenses, to obtain some form of legal status — though at- tendees made clear Trump has yet to make up his mind. "The impression I got was that the campaign is working on substantive policy to help the undocu- mented that are here, in- cluding some type of sta- tus so they would not be deported," said Pastor Ma- rio Bramnick, president of the Hispanic Israel Leader- ship Coalition, who was in attendance. Bramnick said he'd left the meeting "very encour- aged" and "hopeful in antic- ipating the policy and lan- guage" Trump's campaign is expected to release in the coming weeks. Any walk-back would mark a dramatic reversal for Trump, whose tough stand on immigration has been the driving issue of his campaign. During the GOP primary, Trump vowed to use a "deportation force" to round up and deport the millions of people living in the country illegally — a proposal that excited many of his core supporters, but alienated Hispanic voters who could be pivotal in key states. Trump said in an inter- view with "Fox & Friends" on Monday that he was "working with a lot of peo- ple in the Hispanic com- munity to try and come up with an answer." "We want to come up with a really fair, but firm answer. It has to be very firm. But we want to come up with something fair," he said. Asked whether Trump's plan still included a depor- tation force, his new cam- paign manager, Kellyanne Conway, said Sunday it was "to be determined." "What Donald Trump says is we need a fair and effective way to deal with the 11 million who are here, who live among us," Con- way said on CNBC on Mon- day. At the same time, she said, he is committed to "protecting American jobs and American workers and also securing our borders, obviously." The discussion comes following a shake-up in Trump's campaign and as he tries to reverse weeks of decline in polls. His team appears to have realized that he must expand his voting base beyond the Re- publican voters who pow- ered his primary campaign. There have been signs for weeks now that Trump was shifting course. His- panic business and reli- gious leaders who would like to see Trump move in a more inclusive direction, have reported closed-door conversations with Trump in which they say he has signaled possibly embrac- ing a less punitive immi- gration policy that focuses on "compassion" along with the rule of law. At last month's GOP con- vention, the Republican Na- tional Committee's director of Hispanic communica- tions, Helen Aguirre Ferre, told reporters at a Span- ish-language briefing that Trump had already said that he "will not do massive deportations" — despite the fact that Trump had never said so publicly. Instead, she said, "he will focus on removing the vio- lent undocumented who have criminal records and live in the country." Indeed, Trump's first television ad of the general election specifically singles out illegal immigrants with criminal records, claiming that, if Clinton is elected, "Illegal immigrants con- victed of committing crimes get to stay." But Trump's campaign has pushed back on the notion that he's reversing course. "Mr. Trump said nothing today that he hasn't said many times before, in- cluding in his convention speech," rapid response di- rector Steven Cheung said after the meeting. "There is nothing new to report in regards to his plan," added spokeswoman Hope Hicks. Over the last week, Trump has worked to mod- erate his rougher edges, of- fering regrets for remarks he's made that have caused pain and sticking with his teleprompter at a series of events. Yet it remains to be seen whether the provoca- teur will be able to stay on script.

By Michael Biesecker, Eileen Sullivan and Chad Day The Associated Press WASHINGTON Republi- cans stepped up their at- tacks on Monday on for- mer Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server and pointed to newly released messages to allege that foreign donors to the Dem- ocratic presidential nom- inee's family charity got preferential treatment from her department. Congressional Repub- licans issued subpoenas to three technology com- panies that either made or serviced the private email server located in the basement of Clinton's New York home. The sub- poenas were issued Mon- day by Senate Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and House Science, Space and Technology Chairman La- mar Smith of Texas. They said the move was necessary after the three companies — Platte River Networks, Datto Inc. and SECNAP Network Security Corp. — declined to volun- tarily answer questions to determine whether Clin- ton'sprivateservermetgov- ernment standards for re- cord-keeping and security. The subpoenas were among several devel- opments Monday that showed a new GOP em- phasis on Clinton's emails after the FBI recently closed its yearlong probe into whether she and her aides mishandled sensi- tive government informa- tion that flowed through her server, without rec- ommending criminal charges. The State Department is now reviewing nearly 15,000 previously undis- closed emails recovered as part of the FBI inves- tigation. Lawyers for the department told U.S. Dis- trict Court Judge James E. Boasberg on Monday that they anticipate process- ing and releasing the first batch of these new emails in mid-October, raising the prospect that new messages sent or received by Clinton could become public just before Novem- ber's election. Boasberg is overseeing production of the emails as part of a federal pub- lic-records lawsuit filed by the conservative legal advocacy group Judicial Watch. Representing the State Department, Justice Department lawyer Lisa Olson told the judge that officials do not yet know what portion of the emails is work-related, rather than personal. Clinton, who was sec- retary of state from 2009 to 2013, had claimed that she deleted only personal emails prior to returning more than 55,000 pages of her work-related messages to the State Department last year. The department has publicly released most of those emails, although some have been withheld because they contain in- formation considered sen- sitive to national security. The thousands of previ- ously undisclosed Clinton emails obtained by the FBI came from the accounts of other people she commu- nicated with or were re- covered through the bu- reau's forensic examina- tion of her old server. Clinton campaign spokesmanBrianFallonre- iterated Monday that Clin- ton provided all the work- related emails she had "in her possession" when the State Department asked for copies in 2014. He said "if the State Department determines any of them to be work-related, then obvi- ouslywesupportthosedoc- umentsbeingreleasedpub- licly as well."
