| Trump’s comments apparently came in response to an explosive New York Times report, which claimed that Deputy Attorney-General Rod Rosenstein had suggested secretly recording the president to potentially invoke the 25th Amendment and remove him from office. | |
| Rosenstein, however, denied the allegations, claiming that he will not comment on an article based on anonymous sources. “Based on my personal dealings with the president, there is no basis to invoke the 25th Amendment,” he added. | |
