Special Counsel Robert Mueller delivered his first public statement on the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign. He says, "Under long-standing department policy, a president cannot be charged with a federal crime while he is in office. That is unconstitutional…Charging the president with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider." House Judiciary Chair Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) responded to Mueller, "Although Department of Justice policy prevented the Special Counsel from bringing criminal charges against the president, the Special Counsel has clearly demonstrated that President Trump is lying." He also says, "all options are on the table" with respect to impeachment and "we will hold the president accountable." Watch both videos here:
