President Trump on Monday said that he has no plans to fire Rod Rosenstein, punctuating weeks of speculation about the deputy attorney general’s future.
Trump, who made the comments before boarding Air Force One to head to an event in Orlando, Fla., also said he has a “good relationship†with Rosenstein.
Rosenstein is traveling with the president to Orlando.
“I look forward to being with him, that’ll be very nice,†Trump told reporters from the White House lawn. “We’re going to be talking. We’ll be talking on the plane.â€
“I actually have a good relationship — other than there’s been no collusion folks, no collusion,†Trump continued, using a phrase he often employs to describe the special counsel investigation into Russian interference, which Rosenstein oversees, at the Justice Department.
“I have a very good relationship. We’ll see,†Trump said.
