Rep. Mark Meadows Calls on Rod Rosenstein to Resign

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) said Thursday it is time for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to resign for refusing “repeatedly” to cooperate with congressional investigators.

“Repeatedly over the last several months, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has not cooperated with congressional oversight attempts and failed to be transparent about his conduct,” Meadows said in a statement to LifeZette.

“Even more importantly, based on further information we’ve learned over the last week, it’s also clear Mr. Rosenstein has shown a lack of candor in the way he characterized his involvement in a number of events to congressional investigators. Repeatedly, he has declined opportunities to come before Congress and tell the truth.”

“Even as he declines to show up before Congress last week and answer questions, he makes plenty of time for media interviews in the same breath,” Meadows said.
