After Friday night’s blockbuster NYT report in which according to Andrew McCabe’s personal files, the deputy Attorney General has offered to record president Trump (whether or not jokingly), and proposed invoking Article 25, and which prompted speculation that Trump would fire Rosenstein imminently, moments ago Axios reported that Rosenstein has decided preempt that step and has verbally resigned to Chief of Staff John Kelly in anticipation of being fired by President Trump, according to a source with direct knowledge.
Per a source close to Rosenstein: “He’s expecting to be fired,” so plans to step down.
The news sent the S&P to fresh session lows.
