Newt recently said 'POTUS Donald Trump cannot obstruct Justice'

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich on 16th June said that it’s impossible for Donald Trump to obstruct justice because a president cannot ''technically obstruct justice.''

'Technically, the President of the United States cannot obstruct justice," He said at the National Press Club in an event to promote his new book, ‘Understanding Trump’.

 The President of the United States is the chief executive officer of the United States. If he wants to fire the FBI director, all he's got to do is fire him.

Gingrich, however, himself voted to impeach a president over such charges. While speaker of the House, he voted in 1998 to impeach former President Bill Clinton on charges of Obstruction of Justice and perjury.

Now, with a Republican in power, Gingrich seems to have changed his voice. Gingrich was a vocal advocate for Trump during his campaign and at one point he was considered for the Vice President slot. But Trump picked another Republican, Mike Pence, for Vice President.
