President Trump will meet with Rod Rosenstein on Thursday, the White House said Monday, leaving the deputy attorney general’s future in limbo amid reports of his possible ouster.
The White House issued the statement after hours of confusion about Rosenstein’s job status triggered by a visit to the executive mansion, where the No. 2 Justice Department official reportedly expected to be fired or would resign.
“At the request of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discuss the recent news stories,” White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday in a statement.
“Because the President is at the United Nations General Assembly and has a full schedule with leaders from around the world, they will meet on Thursday when the President returns to Washington, D.C.,” she added.
