Reading Room Document
Presidential Appearance as a Character Witness
Apparently there is no precedent for a President to appear as a character witness in a civil, criminal, or other kind of legal proceeding. The OLC does not provide release dates for its opinions, so the release date listed is the date on which the opinion was authored. The original opinion is available at www.justice.gov/file/20666/download.
