Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein Remains in Job For Now
-------------------------------------------------------------

Deputy U.S. Attorney General Rod Rosenstein was at the center of
attention Monday as rumors swirled that he was about to resign or be
fired by President Trump. But for now Rosenstein still has his job. He
is scheduled to meet with the president on Thursday. This comes days
after the New York Times reported Rosenstein had suggested secretly
recording President Trump in the White House and 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, called the Times report "inaccurate and factually
incorrect." Some have said his remark about wiring the president was
sarcastic.
