Rosenstein talk announced

The top lawmakers on two House committees will interview Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein next week about reports that he had discussed secretly recording President Donald Trump. The announcement that Rosenstein, pictured right with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, will sit for a transcribed interview October 24 comes after weeks of negotiations over the meeting. The two Republican chairmen and top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees will interview him. Members of the conservative House Freedom Caucus had originally pushed for Rosenstein to appear but will be left out of the meeting. Judiciary chairman Robert Goodlatte, R-Va., and Oversight and Government Reform Chairman Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., said that the interview will be held in a secure room and that a transcript will be released after the intelligence community reviews it for classified information.
