Goodlatte anticipates Rosenstein's interview with House legislators behind closed doors
The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Bob Goodlatte, told Fox News on Sunday what he hopes to learn when Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein comes for a closed-door interview with House of Representatives legislators next Wednesday. .
"We want to know in particular about the new developments that have been reported to us, about Mr. Rosenstein's meeting with a group of other DOJ and FBI employees, and talk about the possibility of using a cable when meeting with the president. of the United States, its head, the executive director of our country and the possibility of bringing together the members of the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which would be a mechanism to declare the president disabled and, so much, to have someone else, the Vice President, presumably, serving his place, "said Goodlatte, R-Va., at "Sunday Morning Futures" with Maria Bartiromo.
Goodlatte said that Rosenstein's interview will be held in a safe room and that a transcript will be published after the intelligence community reviews it for classified information.
"The safe room provides" the opportunity to ask any questions that need to be asked, and have no concerns about not being in a classified environment and not worry about leaks, which have been a serious problem with our investigation, "Goodlatte added.
The Republican presidents and the top Democrats in the judicial and oversight committees of the House of Representatives are planning to interview Rosenstein.
HOME COMMISSIONS TO INTERVIEW ROSENSTEIN BEHIND THE CLOSED DOORS
Goodlatte cited reports that raised questions about senior officials at the Justice Department, including the September New York Times report that Rosenstein had considered invoking the 25th Amendment and using a cable to record conversations with President Trump. The Deputy Attorney General previously issued a statement that said: "I never pursued or authorized the President's recording and any suggestion that I have ever advocated the dismissal of the President is absolutely false."
Goodlatte told Bartiromo: "These are very, very serious accusations. We have all this based on a newspaper report and we have testimonies from third parties that we have heard in our investigation. We know that he has met with President Trump. President Trump was satisfied and said he wants to continue as his number two in the Department of Justice. But Congress has oversight responsibility. So let's ask him about those questions along with many other things. "
Rosenstein went to the White House days after the publication of the Times report. He was not fired, and later flew with Trump on Air Force One to a conference of international police chiefs in Florida. The president stated that Rosenstein's work was safe and said that "he was not making any changes".

"We just had a very nice talk," Trump told reporters. "We really get along."
Trump and Rosenstein have had a relationship of ups and downs, although the deputy has been spared most of the anger directed at his boss, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Trump's relationship with Sessions deteriorated after the attorney general withdrew from the Russian investigation.
After the disqualification of the Sessions, Rosenstein appointed Robert Mueller as special advisor and oversaw the investigation between Russia and the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election. The Democrats have described the meeting with Rosenstein as part of a Republican effort to undermine Mueller's research.
