Скачать или смотреть Rosenstein: Seen No Basis to Fire Mueller

(13 Jun 2017) U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Tuesday he's seen no basis to fire special counsel probing contacts between Trump campaign and Russia.
The comment came in response to questions from Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. She asked about news reports suggesting that President Donald Trump was already thinking about "terminating" Robert Mueller from his position as special counsel. She asked whether he has seen "any evidence of good cause" to fire Mueller. Rosenstein responded: "No I have not."
Rosenstein says the attorney general would be the only one who could fire Mueller. And since Attorney General Jeff Sessions has recused himself from the investigation, Rosenstein is acting in that capacity.
He says he is confident that Mueller will have "the full independence he needs" to investigate thoroughly.
High-profile supporters of President Donald Trump are turning on special counsel Robert Mueller, the man charged with investigating Russian interference in the U.S. election and possible collusion with Trump's campaign.
