Sessions' chief of staff Matthew Whitaker will be sworn in as acting attorney general — he is poised to take on oversight of Mueller's investigation, a job that had fallen to DAG Rod Rosenstein when Sessions recused last year buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump chief of staff John Kelly called Sessions earlier today, before Trump's press conference, to request his resignation, per an administration official buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Trump made no secret of his displeasure with Sessions, but wasn't expected to make major personnel moves leading up to the midterms — with the election now over, he's wasted no time buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
As of this afternoon, DAG Rod Rosenstein is still in his job. Per an administration official, Rosenstein is going to the White House at 4pm for a previously scheduled meeting buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
