Incoming House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said it isn’t “conclusive” that a sitting president cannot be indicted, but allowed that the issue is “open to discussion.”

Questioned about whether she believes that special counsel Robert Mueller should abide by guidance from the Department of Justice and not indict President Trump, Pelosi said she does not.

“I do not think that that is conclusive. No, I do not,” Pelosi (D-Calif.) told anchor Savannah Guthrie on NBC’s “Today” show in an interview that aired Thursday.

But Guthrie pressed that the Justice Department states that a sitting president cannot be indicted.

“That is not the law,” Pelosi said. “Everything indicates that a president can be indicted after he is no longer president of the United States.”

“A president who’s in office? Could Robert Mueller come back and say, ‘I’m seeking an indictment’?” Guthrie asked.

“I think that is an open discussion,” Pelosi said. “I think that’s an open discussion in terms of the law.”

Pelosi, who is expected to be elected speaker of the House later Thursday, said Democrats who won control of the chamber in November’s elections won’t immediately move to impeach Trump.

She said such a move “would be” divisive for the country.

“We’ll have to see what happens with the Mueller report,” Pelosi said. “We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason.”

If the House voted to impeach Trump, the case would then advance to the Republican-controlled Senate for a trial that would require two-thirds of the upper chamber to vote for conviction.

Mueller has been investigating Russian influence in the 2016 election and whether Trump or any of his campaign associates conspired to help.

Trump’s former campaign manager Paul Manafort, former national security adviser Michael Flynn and former attorney Michael Cohen have all pleaded guilty to charges stemming from the investigation.
