Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., hit back at Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein after the No. 2 at the Justice Department said Tuesday his agency would not be extorted by threats of impeachment.

“If he believes being asked to do his job is ‘extortion,’ then Rod Rosenstein should step aside and allow us to find a new Deputy Attorney General—preferably one who is interested in transparency,” Meadows wrote on Twitter.
