NYT: Rosenstein Suggested Secretly Recording President Trump

HeadlineSep 24, 2018

The New York Times is reporting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein suggested last year that he secretly record President Trump in the White House to expose the turmoil inside the administration following Trump’s firing of FBI Director James Comey. The Times also reports Rosenstein discussed recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office for being unfit. Rosenstein, who oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, called the Times report “inaccurate and factually incorrect.” On Friday night, President Trump suggested there would be more firings at the Department of Justice, saying there is a “lingering stench” at the department.
