Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed Special Counsel Robert Mueller to investigate President Donald Trump over alleged but as yet unfounded Russian collusion in the 2016 election, attended the annual White House Correspondents Association Dinner in Washington, D.C., Saturday evening where he was received like a star by the press and guests at pre-dinner parties. Trump is boycotting the press dinner for the second year in a row but unlike last year administration officials are attending.
Several reporters posted to Twitter about the ‘very popular' reception given Rosenstein.
CNN's Rebecca Berg: “Unlikely celeb sighting at the White House Correspondents Dinner pre-parties: Rod Rosenstein. He's very popular!”
