Trump will speak to hundreds of police officers, The Kansas City Star reported, and several DOJ officials are slated to attend as well.

Trump has been critical of Rosenstein, particularly over his handling of special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The president shared an edited image on Twitter last week that showed Rosenstein behind bars. Asked about the image, Trump said Rosenstein "should have never picked a special counsel.”

The president has himself endured criticism for naming Whitaker to replace former Attorney General Jeff Sessions Jefferson (Jeff) Beauregard SessionsGOP set to release controversial Biden report Trump's policies on refugees are as simple as ABCs Ocasio-Cortez, Velázquez call for convention to decide Puerto Rico status MORE.

Whitaker came under scrutiny for comments he made prior to joining the DOJ in which he suggested the attorney general could stifle funding for the special counsel's investigation, and that the scope of the probe should be limited.

Whitaker's appointment raised alarms among Democrats who expressed concerns that the acting attorney general or Trump may try to fire special counsel Robert Mueller. Trump said last week he has "no intention" of doing so, but stopped short of pledging he would allow the investigation to reach its natural end.

While Trump has been critical of several DOJ officials, he has spoken at several conferences and forums for law enforcement during his time in office and has regularly lauded local police and first responders.
