Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has requested to meet with the Senate Intelligence Committee, including committee chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and vice-chairman Mark Warner (D-Va.), sources told POLITICO.
Rosenstein was seen walking into the Senate Intelligence Committee space as the panel was holding a hearing on worldwide threats.
The request came after President Donald Trump unceremoniously fired FBI Director James Comey, citing a three-page letter from Rosenstein questioning the directors fitness to serve. It also came amid reports that Rosenstein, a well-regarded federal prosecutor, was furious over the White Houses characterization of his apparent recommendation and even threatened to quit.
Its unclear whether Rosenstein made the request to the committee unilaterally, or took his request through officials channels at the Department of Justice. He arrived with a security detail.

Open? Closed?
Inquiring minds want to know.
