{{quotebox Tuesday, May 16, 2017 At 12:30 pm on 05/16/2017, I met with Deputy Attorney General (DAG) Rod Rosenstein in his office at the Department of Justice. Also present were Tashina Gauhar and Jim Crowell. The following is a contemporaneous recollection of the main topics we discussed. I began by telling him that today I approved the opening of an investigation of President Donald Trump. t explained that the purpose of the investigation was to investigate allegations of possible collusion between the president and the Russian Government, possible obstruction of justice related to the firing of FBI Director James Corney, and possible conspiracy to obstruct justice. The DAG questioned what I meant by collusion and I explained that I was referring to the investigation of any potential links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. I explained that counterintelligence investigations of this sort were meant to uncover any the existence of any threat to national security as well as whether or not criminal conduct had occurred. Regarding the obstruction issues, I made clear that our predication was based not only on the president's comments last week to reporter Lester Holt (that he conne¢ted the firing of the director to the FBl's Russia investigation), but also on the several concerning cormments the president made to Director Corney over the last few months. These comments incl~ded t he President's requests for assurances of loyalty, statements about the Russia investigation and the investigation of General M ichael Flynn. I also informed the DAG that Director Corney preserved his recollection of these interactions in a series of contemporaneously drafted memos. Finally, I informed the DAG that as a result of his role in the matter, I thought he would be a witness in the case. The DAG then r:elated his experiences at the White House on Monday, 05/08/2017. He began by stating that he had the feeling that the decision to fire the Director had been made before he arrived. At the White House, he first met with White House Counsel Donald McGahn, who told him that the President had drafted a l~tter to Director Corney that McGahn did not want the President to send. Shortly thereafter they met with the President and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and possibly others, in the Oval Office. Pr~sident Trump told the DAG he had written a letter to Director Corney, asked the DAG if he had seen the letter, and instructed McGahn to provide the DAG with a copy. The DAG described the I letter to me as jbeing a long list, possibly several pages, of the President's complaints with Director b6 -1 b7C -1 Corney. Among those complaints was a discussion about the FBl's Russia investigation, as well as a paragraph abo~t the FBI Deputy Director. The DAG indicated to me that he retained a copy of the President's lett~r. The DAG said he told the President I I The President then directed._t_h_e_D_A_G-to_ w_r-ite_ a_m_e_m_o_e_x_p_la-in_i_n_g-th_e __ __. bS per DOJ /OIP reasoning for D,irector Corney's termination and that the DAG should include Russia. The DAG said to the President h:e did not think this was a good idea and that his memo did not need to include Russia. The President r,eplied that he understood, but that he was asking the DAG to include Russia anyway. As our conversatidn continued the DAG proposed that he could potentially wear a recording device into the Oval Office to dollect additional evidence on the President's true intentions. He said he thought this I I b6 -1 b7C -1 FBI( 19- cv-388)-1
