Trump Legal Questions

[Vidal]

1. Can Trump be compelled by Mueller to testify under oath?

2. If he lies under oath can Trump be charged with perjury?

1. Yes and yes.

But Mueller knows he has to have a completely airtight case against Trump in order to get him in a courtroom. That's why this process is so extensive.

2. #2 - Yes, that was what Clinton was impeached for

But remember, the house impeaches, the Senate convicts. I would doubt at this point if the house would impeach

3. Yes and yes.

The law isn't clear about whether he can be charged/indicted while he's still in office, but once he's out he's fair game. And don't forget, Bill Clinton's impeachment was based on perjury (lying about getting a blow job, not getting a blow job).
