In an interview with NPR, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi called for the House to pass new laws so a sitting president can be indicted. On NPR's 'All Things Considered' Friday, the Speaker said a there is no law that said a president should not be indicted.



"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," Pelosi said. "There is nothing anyplace that says the president should not be indicted. 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.'"
