ROSENSTEIN 'WIRE' STORY COMPLICATES MUELLER-TRUMP TALKS: Discussions between Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office and President Trump's legal team over the conditions of a possible presidential interview have "not terribly advanced" from where they were a couple of weeks ago, a source familiar with the talks told FOX News ... The source said negotiations hit a snag when the New York Times reported Sept. 21 that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein had discussed secretly recording Trump and enlisting cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove the president from office. Rosenstein has called the Times report "inaccurate and factually incorrect" and at least one source has told FOX News that Rosenstein intended his comment about recording Trump to be sarcastic. Trump is tentatively scheduled to meet with Rosenstein at the White House later this week to discuss the report.
Also, the Associated Press reported that two prosecutors detailed to the Russia investigation for the past year are returning to their duties in other parts of the Justice Department. They join two other attorneys who left the team, assigned to investigate potential ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, over the summer.

NOT-SO-QUIET-STORM: President Trump personally directed the efforts to prevent porn star Stormy Daniels from publicly discussing their alleged sexual encounter, the Wall Street Journal reported ... According to the Journal, Trump had learned that Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was planning to give an interview about their alleged relationship, even though she had signed a non-disclosure agreement in October 2016. Last February, anonymous sources told the Journal, Trump ordered his then-lawyer Michael Cohen to seek a restraining order against Daniels and coordinate with his son, Eric Trump and another outside attorney who had represented him and the Trump Organization.
