Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, says it’s possible that staff for Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein are monitoring his actions.
“I’ve been told in the past there’s been great concern about who I saw, what I did and that I was being monitored and was even told they know everybody that walks in your office,” Gohmert said Monday in an interview on Fox Business’s “Lou Dobbs Tonight.”
Gohmert echoed similar sentiments last week in an interview with WMAL’s “Morning on the Mall” radio show.
“I don’t doubt for a minute that he has people who have been looking into my background. I’ve been told as much by some other folks,” Gohmert said in that interview, referring to Rosenstein
Gohmert has yet to provide any evidence to substantiate his suspicions.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a media request from the Washington Examiner.
Rosenstein appeared before the House Judiciary Committee last month, where he fielded questions about keeping documents from Congress. Gohmert is a member of the committee.
Rosenstein is overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether the Trump campaign colluded with the Kremlin.
Gohmert has called for Mueller to be fired and said earlier this year he is open to impeaching Rosenstein.
