Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer released the below statement after Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein accepted an invitation to brief the full Senate on FBI Director Comey’s firing:

“I’m pleased that Majority Leader McConnell has agreed to our request to invite the Deputy Attorney General to brief the full Senate, and that Mr. Rosenstein has accepted. I hope that senators from both sides of the aisle will use this opportunity to seek the full truth regarding Director Comey’s firing, to press the Deputy Attorney General to make way for a special prosecutor, and to ensure the administration will preserve and make public any audio recordings of conversations between the President and the former director.”
