https://www.thepostemail.com/2018/10/18/rosenstein-scheduled-to-testify-october-24/The session is a rescheduling of Rosenstein’s anticipated testimony on October 11, which did not materialize.
Respective Chairmen Bob Goodlatte and Trey Gowdy, both of whom are retiring from Congress in January, said that Rosenstein’s testimony will take place with themselves, the ranking members of each committee, and a court reporter only in the room. In order to avoid releasing classified information to the public, the transcript of the session, in which Rosenstein will answer questions “under oath,†will first be reviewed by the House Intelligence Committee, the announcement reads.
Earlier on Thursday, House Judiciary Committee member and Freedom Caucus founder Mark Meadows tweeted his opinion that Rosenstein should “resign immediately†following closed-door testimony from former FBI Chief Counsel James Baker.
Trump has said that he and Rosenstein have a good relationship and that he has no intention of firing him. Whether or not Rosenstein will remain at his post after the end of the year has been a topic of discussion among pundits of late, as well as Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s fate. Following his recusal from all matters related to Russia early last year, Trump has repeatedly tweeted his frustration with his attorney general, who was the first member of the U.S. Senate to publicly support Trump’s candidacy.
