President Trump said he may delay his Thursday meeting with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to avoid “competing” with the Kavanaugh hearing on Capitol Hill. “I don't want to do anything that gets in the way,” Trump said at a news conference. The President also goes on to say that he “would certainly prefer” not to fire Rosenstein. He also said he believes Rosenstein’s denials of the New York Times story that he didn’t talk about wearing a wire or the 25th Amendment. But remember: Of course, the potential delay — or cancelation of Rosenstein meeting — is not only about competing with Kavanaugh.
