President Donald Trump’s new lawyer once argued that sitting presidents can’t be indicted, a key constitutional question facing special counsel Robert Mueller’s team. Trump’s pick of longtime Washington lawyer Joseph diGenova drew attention because he has aggressively argued in television appearances that the FBI and the Justice Department are framing the president. But his prior comments during investigations into President Bill Clinton in a 1997 editorial in the Wall Street Journal also drew attention. “Nobody should underestimate the upheaval that a prosecution of the president would cause,” he wrote in a March 6, 1997 piece published when independent counsel Kenneth Starr was only investigating financial irregularities in the Whitewater scandal and Clinton’s affair with a White House intern had not yet come to light.
