On Aug. 31, @WhiteHouse announced @POTUS would go to Paris to participate in a Nov. 11 commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the WWI armistice and while in Europe, "the President also will visit Ireland to renew the deep and historic ties between our two nations."
We're expecting a @WhiteHouse statement soon on this.
Trip to #Ireland by @POTUS postponed for "scheduling reasons," the government in Dublin announces.
“The President will travel to Paris in November as previously announced. We are still finalizing whether Ireland will be a stop on that trip. As details are confirmed we will let you know," says @PressSec.
Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein suggested he secretly recorded @POTUS and discussed the 25th Amendment, reports @nytimes. nyti.ms/2xxNdwl

My colleague @masoodfarivar relays from source who was in room (with DAG when he made the comment): “I remember this meeting and remember the wire comment. The statement was sarcastic and was never discussed with any intention of recording a conversation with the president.”
