TRUMP, ROSENSTEIN TO MEET THURSDAY

President Donald Trump declined to say whether he plans to fire his Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, but says he hopes a Thursday meeting will help him figure out “what’s going on.”

The White House announced earlier Monday that Trump will meet with Rosenstein Thursday amid breathless and sometimes conflicting reports anticipating his imminent departure.

Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly that “we’ll be determining what’s going on. We want to have transparency, we want to have openness.” But he’s refused to say whether he still has confidence in Rosenstein following reports Rosenstein discussed using the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office.
