Trump On if He’s Likely to Fire Rosenstein After Memo: ‘You Figure That One Out’

President Donald Trump delivered brief remarks to reporters after declassifying the Rep. Devin Nunes memo, and referred to the FBI abuse alleged in the four-page document as “disgraceful,” adding that “a lot of people should be ashamed of themselves, and much worse than that.”

Trump also gave a coy answer to a question on whether he had confidence — or if he was going to fire — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

“You figure that one out,” he replied.

As far as what happens next, the president told reporters that “Congress will do whatever they are going to do.”

“Whatever they do is fine,” he continued. “Let’s see what happens.”

Trump repeatedly tried to usher reporters out of the room, saying “thank you very much” several times as an indication that he was done speaking.
