According to a report Wednesday, President Trump’s legal team has been assured that he will not be indicted. Other than a report and a recommendation to the house, the Mueller probe apparently has its hands tied.
According to The Hill:
Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team told President Trump’s legal team that they can’t indict a sitting president, CNN reported Wednesday.
Rudy Giuliani, who is leading Trump’s legal team in the Russia probe, told the network that when it comes to the president, Mueller’s team can only write a report at the conclusion of its investigation. Such a report could outline wrongdoing or include recommendations for the House.
“They can’t indict. At least they acknowledged that to us after some battling, they acknowledged that to us,” Giuliani told CNN.
The decision not to indict a sitting president would align with Justice Department guidelines dating back to the Nixon administration that say a sitting president can’t be indicted.
This information comes as Thursday marks the one year anniversary of the Mueller investigation. The pressure is mounting for it to come to an end soon.
