But because of the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel memo that states a sitting president cannot be indicted, Clinton said Mueller punted the issue to Congress — something she said Mueller made clear he was doing.

“If you read that part of the report, it could not be clearer,” she said, adding, “But we do have checks and balances in America, and there is this thing called the Congress.
