Rod Rosenstein To Meet Trump On Thursday As Job Hangs In Balance

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will meet later this week with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the White House said Monday amid indications that Rosenstein was about to lose his job. The meeting will be Thursday, said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders. That's the same day as an extraordinary Senate hearing that is to feature Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh and a woman who has accused him of sexually assaulting her when they were in high school. Any termination or resignation would have immediate implications for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of possible collaboration between Russia and the Trump campaign before the 2016 election.
