UPDATE: (10-2-18) Politico reports House Republicans have scheduled the meeting for a week from Thursday.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will meet with House lawmakers on Oct. 11, according to two sources familiar with the plan.

The precise format of the meeting remains unclear. Some House Republicans have insisted that Rosenstein sit for a transcribed interview that would be treated as an element of the panel’s broader, long-running investigation into the Justice Department and FBI. But House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, who invited Rosenstein to brief lawmakers, has not indicated whether he might allow Rosenstein to appear in a less-formal context to simply brief lawmakers on his response to the reports.
Rosenstein to meet with House Republicans on Oct. 11 (Politico)
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein has agreed to meet with House Republicans in the next two weeks to answer any questions they have about news reports he may have suggested secretly recording or removing the president in the weeks after the president fired FBI Director James Comey.
The agreement to brief lawmakers on the episode comes amid a clamor from Trump's top allies in the House to haul Rosenstein in for an interview, possibly under the threat of a subpoena. The DOJ source said Rosenstein had agreed to the briefing prior to any subpoena threats being leveled by GOP leaders ...
It's unclear, though, whether the session will be part of a formal House GOP investigation into allegations of misconduct by FBI and Justice Department officials in 2016 and 2017, part of a probe Republicans say is exposing anti-Trump bias but that Democrats accuse of intentionally undermining ongoing investigations into Trump and his campaign's contacts with Russians.
The Republicans leading that investigation include House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte and House Oversight Committee Chairman Trey Gowdy, along with top Trump allies Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan.
Chairman Goodlatte has characterized Rosenstein's anticipated trip to the Hill as a "private meeting" while Rep. Jordan says he believes it will be a transcribed interview.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department source said Rosenstein had agreed with Goodlatte to come in for a briefing, rather than an official interview as part of his panel's investigation — raising questions about whether there will be a dispute over the format.
House Judiciary Committee Ranking Democrat Jarrold Nadler (D-NY), concerned with the term "private meeting," tweeted his insistence the minority be included in any conversation with Rosenstein.
"The @HouseGOP cannot be left alone in a room with DAG Rosenstein," Nadler tweeted Friday morning. "They will not stop until theIr attempt to undermine Mueller’s investigation is complete. I will demand that @SpeakerRyan give us access to that meeting."
