Embattled Dy A-G to meet Trump

Washington: Donald Trump will meet the deputy attorney general overseeing the special counsel investigation into the President’s alleged collusion with Russia on Thursday, the White House said on Monday after reports that Rod Rosenstein, a frequent target of Trump’s anger,  was about to resign or be fired. Rosenstein’s job has looked untenable since last week’s bombshell publication of reports that he had discussed ways to remove Trump from office due to incompetence. “At the request of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, he and President Trump had an extended conversation to discuss the recent news stories,” White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said. aFP
