NO PLAN TO FIRE ROSENSTEIN, TRUMP SAYS

WASHINGTON U.S. President Donald Trump said he had a “great” meeting with Rod Rosenstein aboard Air Force One, after telling reporters earlier in the day that he has no plans to fire the deputy attorney general.

“I get along very well with him,” Trump said Monday in remarks to reporters before they boarded the plane to Orlando, Fla. Upon landing, the president described the meeting as “great.” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said the two met for about 45 minutes.

The president and deputy attorney general “discussed various topics” including “support for our great law enforcement officials, border security ... and general DOJ business.,” Gidley said.
