But thanks for posting the question that was actually asked.  Although I think I can see Trump's point.  "You could be charged" is both statement of fact that charges could be brought, but "could be charged" also intones a threshold of evidence...which Mueller did not say.

It's a very crafty question, and Trump was surprising wise not to fall for it.  You pretend to ask with respect to the former, but what you're really asking and will report is that the POTUS acknowledged wrongdoing the "could result in him being indicted".   They don't indict you without an expectation to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, so if you acknowledge you "could be indicted", then implicitly you are confessing to some degree of wrongdoing.

"They could indict a president once they leave office, but since I did not do anything I am not afraid of that happening to me personally.  Next question."

Throw in something about crooked Hillary and AOC plus three and how Democrats hare America and you got a winner there.
