WASHINGTON — Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is expected to leave his role in the coming weeks, reports.

Rosenstein told President Donald Trump and White House officials about his plan to depart the administration around the time William Barr, Trump’s nominee for attorney general, would take office following a Senate confirmation.

ABC reports there is no indication that Rosenstein is being forced out by the president.
