CBS News/60 Minutes
- Former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe described the conversation during which he said deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein first offered to secretly record President Donald Trump in the White House.
- In a Sunday night airing of "60 Minutes," McCabe described what he said was an "incredibly turbulent, incredibly stressful" period after Trump fired FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.
- "I can't describe to you accurately enough the pressure and the chaos that Rod and I were trying to operate under at that time," McCabe said of himself and Rosenstein.
- It was during that time, according to McCabe, that Rosenstein suggested secretly recording Trump, ostensibly to collect evidence that could reveal the president's motivations for firing Comey, who had been leading the FBI's Russia investigation at the time.
