Play of the Day: Rod Rosenstein Was Fired. Or Resigned. Or Not.
Confusion was the only constant on Monday regarding the Justice Department official.
According to reports, former First Lady Michelle Obama officiated a wedding over the weekend in Chicago. The Tonight Show's Jimmy Fallon joked that it was a good thing she did it and not her husband because the former pause-happy president would've taken days to finish.
Multiple news outlets vacillated on whether Rod Rosenstein, the second ranking official in the Justice Department, was fired, resigned or was anticipating either on Monday. According to the New York Times, Rosenstein joked about wearing a wire to record President Donald Trump, prompting Late Night's Seth Meyers to joke that no Justice Department feds should joke ever. Rosenstein will meet with Trump when he gets back to D.C. on Thursday, prompting Jimmy Kimmel to joke that Rosenstein should record that meeting, while Meyers joked that the confusion over Rosenstein's job status is like that of George Costanza's on the famed Seinfeld episode.
