Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is currently in a meeting at the White House with chief of staff General Kelly, immediately prior to which, he was expecting to be fired. There are reports that he was planning on Resigning with the details to be ironed out today.
All of this comes on the heels of a NY times article that says that former former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe had written memos saying that Rosenstein had discussed wearing a wire while speaking with President Trump and try to get Trumps cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment. Sources say that he did say this but in jest as pushback against McCabe.
Update: it appears this is fake news and Rosenstein is still deputy Attorney General. There is a meeting with Trump scheduled for this Thursday.
