President Trump told reporters as he was leaving the White House Monday that he doesn't have plans to fire the Justice Department's No. 2 official. But if he changes his mind, advisers have urged President Trump to wait until after the November midterm elections.

Rosenstein's status has been in question since reports surfaced last month that he had talked about recording President Trump to expose chaos inside the White House.

Rosenstein has denied the claims.
