Rosenstein reportedly discussed wearing ‘wire,’ invoking 25th Amendment against Trump (FOX News)
A bombshell report published Friday afternoon claims Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein last year suggested secretly recording President Trump to expose chaos in the White House and enlisting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him from office. Rosenstein adamantly denied the accusations.
The explosive article published by The New York Times said Rosenstein discussed recording Trump and his removal from office in meetings and conversations with Justice Department and FBI officials.
This would have been in the tumultuous days after James Comey was fired as FBI director, with the president citing in part a memo penned by Rosenstein. [Read More]
GOP making counteroffer to Kavanaugh accuser (The Hill)
Senate Republicans are putting together a counteroffer to Christine Blasey Ford, the woman who has accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, with a new offer to testify Wednesday and answer questions from a special counsel.
The offer under discussion would have Ford testify first before the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday and then give Kavanaugh a chance to follow her with a response.
A source familiar with the proposal said Republicans are willing to agree to limit television coverage to one camera in the room.
Some Senate Republicans would like to have an independent, outside counsel — preferably a woman — ask the questions so as not to appear insensitive to her claims of trauma. But the issue hasn’t yet been resolved. [Read More]

Leaked NPR Emails: Don’t Call Kermit Gosnell an ‘Abortion Doctor’ (The Daily Beast)
Early last month, John Sullivan, executive producer of the new film Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer (in theaters Oct. 12), reached out to National Public Radio to purchase a sponsorship for the Peabody Award-winning interview show, Fresh Air.
Sullivan, who was prepared to spend as much as six figures, crafted his ad copy to answer the question you’re probably asking: Who is Gosnell? The proposed ad was as follows, “Support for this NPR program comes from the film Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer. The film is the true story of abortionist Kermit Gosnell. A story the mainstream media tried to cover up because it reveals the truth about abortion.” [Read More]
