Rosenstein Sets Meeting With House Republicans

Description

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will meet with House lawmakers on Oct. 11, according to two sources familiar with the plan. The interview, organized by the Republican-led Judiciary and Oversight Committees, follows intense pressure from President Donald Trump's top House allies to question Rosenstein about recent reports that he proposed secretly recording Trump early last year. And it comes as Trump weighs whether to fire Rosenstein. The precise format of the meeting remains unclear. Some House Republicans have insisted that Rosenstein sit for a transcribed interview that would be treated as an element of the panel’s broader, long-running investigation into the Justice Department and FBI. But House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, who invited Rosenstein to brief lawmakers, has not indicated whether he might allow Rosenstein to appear in a less-formal context to simply brief lawmakers on his response to the reports. His office declined to comment on the plan. Regardless of the format, the Oct. 11 meeting brings high stakes for Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller and oversees his investigation. Trump has railed against the Mueller probe of his campaign's contacts with Russia, calling it a "witch hunt," and Democrats view the drama around Rosenstein's future as a means of exerting influence over Mueller's investigation.
