President Trump met with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein on Thursday amid speculation his job could be in jeopardy.
The White House said the meeting was arranged to discuss “routine [Justice] Department business.”
Trump has railed against Rosenstein since Monday, when the FBI raided the home, office and hotel room of the president’s personal attorney in part due to a referral from special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.
Rosenstein is tasked with overseeing the Mueller probe into Russia’s election interference and reportedly signed off on the raid.
Trump has faced calls from a chorus of outside allies, including ousted chief strategist Stephen Bannon, to fire Rosenstein in an effort to thwart the Mueller probe.
