Special Counsel Robert Mueller cannot indict President Donald Trump, according to Rudy Giuliani during a recent interview with CNN.

Mueller’s team is investigating the alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign.

Giuliani recently joined the legal team representing Trump in the Russia probe. According to him, Mueller’s team informed them that they cannot indict a sitting president. All can do is write a report and make recommendations based on the results of their investigation.

“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,” said Giuliani.\

Mueller team is following DOJ policy

The Special Counsel’s team is following a long-time policy of Department of Justice (DOJ) since the Nixon administration.

“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.
