Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein assured President Trump last week that he is not a target of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Bloomberg News reported Thursday.
The revelation came as Rosenstein met with Trump at the White House. Rosenstein was the one to raise the issue, according to Bloomberg.
That assurance appeared to quell the possibility that Trump could move to dismiss either Rosenstein or Mueller. The president reportedly told advisers after the meeting that he did not feel like it was the right time to fire either man.
Rosenstein’s assurance to Trump came after The Washington Post reported that Mueller told Trump’s attorneys last month the president is not a criminal target of his investigation.
While Rosenstein told Trump that he was not currently a target of any part of Mueller’s investigation, one official told Bloomberg that Mueller could eventually make Trump one.
