Deputy Attorney General Knew Comey Was Out Before Writing Critical Memo, Senators Say
After a closed meeting with Rod Rosenstein, senators say the deputy attorney general "answered a lot of questions but declined to answer a lot, as well" about the firing of FBI Director James Comey.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein knew President Trump planned to fire FBI Director Jim Comey before he sat down to write a memo criticizing Comey's conduct.
That's according to several United States senators who met with Rosenstein Thursday afternoon in a secure room in the Capitol basement.
"He knew that Comey was going to be removed prior to writing his memo,"
