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, who also served as New York City’s mayor until 2002.

“We think it’s bigger than that. We think it’s a constitutional rule, but I don’t think you’re ever going to confront that because nobody’s ever going to indict a sitting president. So, what does that leave them with? That leaves them with writing a report.”
