Gaetz, who is on the Judiciary Committee, added, "These remarks are an insidious attack on President Trump, and an assault on the presidency as a whole." The explosive report, published by The New York Times, said Rosenstein had discussed wearing a "wire" to tape Trump and pursuing his removal from office in meetings and conversations with Justice Department and FBI officials.

Congressional investigators say the McCabe memos have been out of their reach, citing special counsel equities.
