President Donald Trump is weighing firing deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein, CNN reported Tuesday.

Trump has had an unprecedented level of anger toward the FBI and Department of Justice officials ever since it emerged that investigators had raided his longtime lawyer's office, home, and hotel room early Monday morning.

Trump's reported consideration regarding Rosenstein also comes after The New York Times reported earlier Tuesday that Rosenstein had personally signed off on the search warrant targeting Cohen this week.
