Nancy Pelosi has indicated she thinks a sitting president can be indicted.
Speaking with the Today show ahead of being sworn in as House speaker for the second time on Thursday, Pelosi was asked whether special counsel Robert Mueller should abide by the Department of Justice’s guidance stating a sitting president can’t be indicted in his investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“I do not think that that is conclusive,” Pelosi said. “No, I do not.”
When asked whether Mueller could indict President Trump over his campaign’s alleged connections with Russia, Pelosi seemed open to the possibility.
“I think that is an open discussion, in terms of the law,” she said.
