Description

It's not just Democrats now--even some Republicans are warning that President Donald Trump may be in serious trouble if it is proven that he actually interfered with an FBI investigation. At the center of the political scandal are accusations that the president may have engaged in "obstruction of justice." That's a federal offense that involves intentionally trying to derail an investigation. According to NBC News, the situation is further complicated by the unique position held by the president. One prominent legal theory says the president's actions can only be prosecuted in office by Congress with impeachment. On Wednesday, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel to oversee investigations into Russia's role in the 2016 election. Mueller is a widely respected figure whose role puts the probe further out of the White House's reach. Since it has never happened in American history, legal experts are divided as to whether a president can be indicted.http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white...http://www.wochit.comThis video was produced by YT Wochit Vote It using http://wochit.com
