House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expressing support for a law change that would allow for a sitting president to be indicted — possibly in response to pressure from her Democratic colleagues to help impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump.

“I do think that we will have to pass some laws that will have clarity for future presidents. [A] president should be indicted, if he’s committed a wrongdoing — any president. There is nothing anyplace that says the president should not be indicted,” Pelosi told NPR on Friday. “That’s something cooked up by the president’s lawyers. That’s what that is. But so that people will feel ‘OK, well, if he — if he does something wrong, [he] should be able to be indicted.’ ”

The House Speaker also took aim at a Department of Justice (DOJ) rule which prevents prosecutors from pursuing charges against a sitting president, saying that the protocol should be modified.

“The Founders could never suspect that a president would be so abusive of the Constitution of the United States, that the separation of powers would be irrelevant to him and that he would continue, any president would continue, to withhold facts from the Congress, which are part of the constitutional right of inquiry,” she said.
