Attorney General William Barr will leave his post shortly before Christmas, President Donald Trump announced Monday.
“Just had a very nice meeting with Attorney General Bill Barr at the White House,” Trump said in a tweet. “Our relationship has been a very good one, he has done an outstanding job! As per letter, Bill will be leaving just before Christmas to spend the holidays with his family.”
Deputy Attorney General Jeff Rosen will become acting Attorney General, Trump said.
