Rosenstein says McCabe was 'not fully candid' about Comey's memos

Former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said Wednesday the temporary head of the FBI was “not fully candid” with him about the memos written by James Comey about his conversations with President Trump before being fired as director of the bureau.

Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller in 2017 while overseeing the Russia investigation after then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself, made the admission during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He also testified that he would not have signed off on the fourth and final Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant targeting onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page if he knew then what he knows now.
