Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team admitted it cannot indict President Trump, Rudy Giuliani said Wednesday.
“All they get to do is write a report. They can’t indict. At least they acknowledged that to us after some battling, they acknowledged that to us,” the president’s lawyer and former federal prosecutor told CNN.
Giuliani cited Nixon-era Department of Justice guidelines that prevent special investigators from indicting sitting presidents.
“The Justice Department memos going back to before Nixon say that you cannot indict a sitting president, you have to impeach him. Now there was a little time in which there was some dispute about that, but they acknowledged to us orally that they understand that they can’t violate the Justice Department rules,” said Giuliani.
