1158: Taking a Mueller

Ted Lieu, OLC Opinion Retraction

Representative Ted Lieu attempted to lead Robert Mueller into admitting that the only reason Donald Trump was not indicted was due to the Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) opinion prohibiting the indictment of a sitting president. While Mueller initially agreed with Lieu's framing, he later issued a formal retraction during the afternoon session. Mueller clarified that the team did not reach a determination on whether a crime was committed, rather than being solely blocked by the OLC guideline.
