(CNN) Republicans are aiming to give Deputy Attorney General Rod "Rosenstein's head on a platter" to President Donald Trump, Rep. Luis Gutierrez said in an interview with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "Cuomo Prime Time" Thursday.

"if you walk away from anything in this hearing it's that (Republicans) want to give the President a trophy, and the trophy is Rosenstein's head on a platter," the Illinois Democrat said. "That's what they want."
