Former prosecutor and defense attorney Seema Iyer explained the Southern District of New York has its “own venue to prosecute” Trump for “all these insurance fraud crimes, bank fraud, financial crimes.”
Former prosecutor and defense attorney Seema Iyer on Sunday said President Donald Trump could “150 percent” be indicted over fraud and money laundering charges now, while he is still in office.
“One hundred and fifty percent, yes!” the U.S. attorney replied. “The Justice Department regulations that govern [special counsel Robert] Mueller’s appointment say Mueller is allowed to deviate from policy in, ‘extraordinary circumstances.’”Iyer went on to explain that the Southern District of New York has its “own venue to prosecute” Trump for “all these insurance fraud crimes, bank fraud, financial crimes.
Former prosecutor Paul Butler then attempted to cite the Department of Justice guidelines in disagreement with Iyer’s analysis, before quickly being stopped by Reid. “Prosecution is the key word,” Butler responded. “A sitting president can’t be prosecuted. He may be able to be indicted, which means there could be a sealed indictment waiting right now for the day that Trump leaves office.”
