Скачать или смотреть WH casts Rosenstein's departure as his own choice

(9 Jan 2019) The White House is casting the expected departure of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein in coming weeks as Rosenstein's choice alone.
Spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Wednesday Rosenstein had always planned to stay around two years.
Sanders told Fox News there was no willingness by Trump or the White House to force Rosenstein out.
Speaking to reporters on the White House driveway, Sanders said Rosenstein wants to help with the transition to a new attorney general, adding that "he's done a great job."
William Barr, President's Donald Trump's nominee to be the permanent attorney general, is scheduled to go before the Senate Judiciary Committee next week for his confirmation hearings. Barr could be installed at the Justice Department as early as February.
Rosenstein appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian ties to Trump's presidential campaign. Trump has denounced the investigation as a witch hunt.
Sanders also spoke about the president's address to the nation Tuesday night to plead for border wall funding.
She said Trump has "laid out a solution" to ending the partial government shutdown, not in its 19th day, but the White House has yet to hear any counteroffers from Democrats.
