Rep. Trey Gowdy who helped draft the memo, said Trump should not fire Rosenstein and rejected the idea that the document has bearing on the investigation. The memo’s release Friday by the Intelligence Committee has raised fears Trump will fire Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees the probe. “I actually don’t think it has any impact on the Russia probe,” Gowdy, who also chairs the House Oversight Committee, said on CBS’ Face the Nation. Their comments came as Democrats prepared to push for a committee vote Monday night on releasing their rebuttal to the GOP memo. The Intelligence Committee voted along party lines last week to release the memo despite warnings from national security officials.
