Trump: I’d Prefer To Keep Rosenstein, May Delay Planned Meeting On His Fate

President Trump said Wednesday his “preference” would be for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to stay in his job — and he also may delay a meeting scheduled for Thursday with Rosenstein about his future with the Justice Department.

Trump told reporters in New York City in response to a question from NPR’s Ayesha Rascoe that Rosenstein “never said” the things attributed to him in a New York Times report from last week and that Rosenstein “doesn’t believe” that Trump needs to be removed from power under the 25^th Amendment.

Those details in the Times report – which Rosenstein denied – prompted him to visit the White House on Monday with the expectation that he was going to be fired.
