Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Trump last week he is not a target of Mueller’s witch hunt according to a new report by Bloomberg.
This is the second leak from the special counsel claiming Trump is not a target of Mueller’s probe.
Fox News is also reporting Rosenstein told Trump he is not a target in the Michael Cohen investigation.
Bloomberg reported:
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told President Donald Trump last week that he isn’t a target of any part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to two people familiar with the matter.
Rosenstein, who brought up the Mueller probe himself, offered the assurance during a meeting with Trump at the White House last Thursday, a development that helped tamp down the president’s desire to remove Rosenstein or Mueller, the people said.After the meeting, Trump told some of his closest advisers that it’s not the right time to remove either man since he’s not a target of the probe. One person said Trump doesn’t want to take any action that would drag out the investigation.

The Washington Post reported in early April that special counsel Robert Mueller notified President Trump’s lawyers in March that their client is currently not a criminal target in the Russia probe.
Trump and his lawyers should never trust Rosenstein or Mueller. Never.
Trump is still Mueller’s number one target.
In an aggressive move, Rosenstein approved an FBI raid of Trump’s personal lawyer and seized attorney-client privileged communications.
Rosenstein and Mueller are dirty; they both need to be fired and investigated.
