The plan includes rolling back long-standing Justice Department policy that forbids charging a sitting president with a crime.
Just two days after Robert Mueller’s unexpected press conference — one in which he said that charging a sitting president with a crime was “not an option,” based on Justice Department rules — Sen. Elizabeth Warren unveiled a new plan which would roll that policy back.
On Friday morning, Warren, a 2020 presidential hopeful, called on Congress to pass a law which would allow for a sitting president be indicted. Should she win the presidency, she vowed to appoint Justice Department officials that would make sure of it.
Her plan comes on the heels of a new wave of Democrats calling for President Donald Trump’s impeachment after Mueller’s bombshell presser.
