Ranking Member Jordan Statement on the Expected Departure of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein from US Department of Justice
Statement
Issues: Government Operations
Today, Congressman Jim Jordan, the Ranking Member of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, issued the following statement in response to the expected departure of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein from the U.S. Department of Justice:
"The American people have a right to know if the Deputy Attorney General plotted to wear a wire to secretly record the President with the goal of removing him from office. This is a serious matter and one Mr. Rosenstein must account for under oath. Rod Rosenstein's expected departure from his post in no way absolves him of his responsibility to answer questions before Congress. I hope and expect Chairman Cummings will expeditiously seek Mr. Rosenstein's prompt appearance before Congress."
