Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) defended Rod Rosenstein on Tuesday, saying the deputy attorney general who is overseeing the Russia investigation is doing a "fine job" and that President Trump should not fire him.
Trump has reportedly considered ousting Rosenstein, who authorized extending surveillance of a Trump campaign official last spring after Trump was sworn in as president.
"I think Rod Rosenstein is doing a fine job. I have no reason to see why he should [fire him]," Ryan told reporters. "Rod Rosenstein was hired after this last election. I think the people at the FBI, at the DOJ need to clean their own house if there are problems in their own house."
