This document is a news article, marked as a House Oversight committee exhibit, concerning a New York Times report on Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. The report alleged that in May 2017, Rosenstein suggested secretly recording President Trump and invoking the 25th Amendment, claims which reporter Michael Schmidt later defended as serious and documented in memos by then-acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe. The article places these allegations in the context of the Mueller investigation and recent developments involving Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.
