Trump delays meeting with Rosenstein until next week

President Donald Trump postponed a Thursday meeting to discuss the tenure of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to avoid interference with a Senate hearing where Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh confronted allegations of sexual assault.

The urgency for a meeting appeared to abate after Trump signaled his support Wednesday for the deputy attorney general to remain in his post despite reports Rosenstein discussed invoking the 25th Amendment last year to seek the president’s removal from office.
