Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is on Monday set to travel aboard Air Force One with President Trump.
Rosenstein planned to travel with the president on his visit to the International Association of Chiefs of Police annual conference in Orlando.
A Department of Justice official confirmed to The Hill that the deputy attorney general would join the president on Air Force One. The New York Times first reported the development.
The move comes nearly two weeks after the two were first scheduled to meet following a New York Times report that Rosenstein had proposed secretly recording conversations with Trump and discussed the possibility of administration officials invoking the 25th Amendment to remove him from office shortly after former FBI Director James Comey was fired in 2017.
There was widespread speculation that Rosenstein would either resign or be fired following The Times report.
Trump postponed a scheduled meeting until after then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation process concluded. Kavanaugh was confirmed on Saturday in a 50-48 vote.
Rosenstein told senior White House officials that he wished to resign in the days after the report surfaced, according to the Times. But his offer came as Kavanaugh’s confirmation process became contentious, which led to a meeting between Trump and Rosenstein being postponed.
Trump has since stated that he’s willing to keep Rosenstein at the Justice Department, where he oversees special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election interference.
All I can say is it seems odd
Ha! He’ll be in a space where he can’t escape and can’t communicate with the outside. Good plan. Don’t forget to frisk him for a wire.
The Trump will have lots of back up when he arrests RR - and it's a short hop to GITMO from Mickeytown.
