Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein likely to step down in 3 weeks.
Rosenstein, who had been overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, said in January he would leave shortly a new attorney general was in place.
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein will likely be stepping down from his position in about three weeks, according to Justice Department officials.
That word comes just days after William Barr was confirmed as the new attorney general by the Senate.
Justice Department officials said Rosenstein’s departure had no connection to recent comments by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, who has just published a book, “The Threat: How the FBI Protects American in the Age of Terror and Trump.”
McCabe said in an interview on “60 Minutes” on Sunday that Rosenstein considered wearing a wire in meetings with the president.
The Justice Department disputed this and other assertions by McCabe, calling his recollections "inaccurate and factually incorrect."
