Fox News Legal Analyst Says Trump May Be Charged With 3 Crimes
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York (SDNY) filed a court document on Friday saying that Trump directed his former lawyer Michael Cohen to commit campaign finance violations.
Although Trump has not been charged with any crime there is no law saying he can’t be indicted while serving as president. Justice Department memos issued during the Nixon era suggested that sitting presidents should not be subject to indictments, but that is only informal guidance, and not a strict rule. The issue has never been tested in court. Robert Mueller or the SDNY attorneys could issue an indictment for the president, and then it could be taken to a court — probably the U.S. Supreme Court — for a final decision on the matter.
