JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/ROBERT MUELLER/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller, in his first public comments on his investigation, said on Wednesday [5-29-19] that charging President Donald Trump was never an option for his team of prosecutors, citing Justice Department guidelines that prohibit charging a sitting president. ‘Charging the president with a crime was … not an option we could consider,’ Mueller told reporters as he announced his resignation. ‘We concluded that we would not reach a determination one way or the other about whether the president committed a crime.’”
