WASHINGTON — Following the Senate confirmation of William P. Barr to be Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein is planning to exit the Department of Justice next Friday, according to three DOJ officials who are familiar with his plans and ongoing conversations inside the department.
Rosenstein, 54, initially planned to stay at the Department of Justice for several weeks to ensure a smooth transition for his successor,
Jeffrey Rosen, however, he is quietly working to exit the DOJ next Friday after a scathing interview was given to “60 Minutes” by former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. Mr. McCabe, in an interview scheduled to air on Sunday, said that Mr. Rosenstein considered invoking the 25th amendment to oust President Trump in addition to possibly recording the commander-in-chief, directly contradicting a forceful denial issued months earlier by Rosenstein.

Rosenstein signed the FISA warrant against former Trump adviser Carter Page — something President Trump has heavily criticized him for.
Over a two-year period, Rosenstein repeatedly refused to comply with requests from House Republicans for documents related to the Page FISA warrant and the Russia investigation in general.
House Freedom Caucus chairman Mark Meadows drafted articles of impeachment against Rosenstein towards the end of last years, describing the move as a “last resort,” following the Deputy Attorney General’s “slow-walking” of documents to Congress.
President Trump nominated Rod Rosenstein to be Deputy Attorney General in early 2017. Prior to his nomination, he worked as the United States Attorney in Maryland.
