Trump's Deputy AG Rosenstein says he stands by Comey memo

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein told lawmakers during a pair of closed-door meetings Friday that he stands by his memo that was initially used as the reason for former FBI Director James Comey's firing.
"It is a candid memorandum about the FBI Director's public statements concerning a high-profile criminal investigation," Rosenstein told lawmakers, according to a released copy of his opening statement. "I wrote it. I believe it. I stand by it."
