I can't find a source that tells me how many Presidents have been involved in a grand jury investigation. Help?

    Do you mean while president, before or after? Not that many presidents actually committed crimes and impeachment would be the method to be used while president. Aug 3, 2017 at 23:37

    @sabbahillel I rather suspect that many presidents committed crimes, but that the crimes did not in most cases become common knowledge.

  • @phoog I suspect that it was the 20th century that this would apply to. However, none were caught. Aug 4, 2017 at 0:25

    Not sure why the downvotes. Perhaps a bit trivial, but I think it's an interesting question. Nixon went before a Grand Jury. Clinton as well. But I'm not sure if any others have.

Assuming we are talking about US presidents, two of them are documented:

  • Richard Nixon in 1974

  • Bill Clinton in 1998

It seems that although Andrew Johnson faced impeachment in 1868, he wasn't subject to a grand jury.

(Sorry for my previous erroneous statement about A.Johnson)

    Can you link to your sources ? That would show it is an exhaustive list ? Aug 4, 2017 at 12:59
