Newly Disclosed Clinton-era Memo Says Presidents Can Be Indicted
Although nothing in the Constitution or federal law explicitly says presidents are immune from indictment while they remain in office, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel has asserted that they are. A newly disclosed legal memo from the office of Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel who investigated President Clinton, challenges that analysis. The National Archives made the memo public in response to a Freedom of Information Act request by The New York Times.

In response to a FOIA request from [Charlie Savage] of the New York Times, the National Archives have released a memo prepared by the staff of Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr arguing that a sitting president may constitutionally be indicted. The memo takes an opposing view from that of the Office of Legal Counsel, which has concluded that indictment of the president would be unconstitutional.
The memo prepared for Starr is available in full below.
