126. On September 22, 2018, the Times reported that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had proposed secretly recording President Trump. Rosenstein denied the report, but the Times did not retract its story. On the same day, the Times also reported that intelligence agencies had dissuaded the president from declassifying documents directly related to Intelgate.
