Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein dismissed a New York Times article as “inaccurate and factually incorrect” for claiming that in May 2017 he suggested recording President Donald Trump and brought up the possibility of invoking the 25th amendment to remove the commander in chief.
“The New York Times’s story is inaccurate and factually incorrect,” Rosenstein said in a statement. “I will not further comment on a story based on anonymous sources who are obviously biased against the department and are advancing their own personal agenda. But let me be clear about this: Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment.”
