He testified that those in the meeting"said they would resign en masse."Rosen said Trump"turned to me and said — 'Well, one thing we know is you, Rosen, you aren't going to do anything.
"It was actually a good opening because I said, 'Mr. President, you have a great deal to lose,'" he testified."I began to explain to him what he had to lose and what the country had to lose and what the department had to lose, and this was not in anyone's best interest. That conversation went on for some time. Everyone essentially chimed in with their own thoughts, all of which were consistent about how damaging this would be to the country.
"I said, 'Mr. President, I would resign immediately. I'm not working one minute for this guy,'" he replied.
