President Donald Trump said he had a “great” meeting with Rod Rosenstein aboard Air Force One, after telling reporters earlier in the day that he has no plans to fire the deputy attorney general.

“I get along very well with him,” Trump said Monday in remarks to reporters before they boarded the plane for a speech by the president to a law enforcement group in Orlando, Florida. Upon landing, the president described the meeting as “great.” White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said in an emailed statement that the two met for about 45 minutes.
