Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigns at the request of President Donald Trump. Matthew G. Whitaker named as acting attorney general pending a new nominee. Whitaker will now oversee Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s election hacking. Mueller’s probe has resulted in indictments of key people who were once part of Trump’s campaign sphere on charges unrelated to working with Russia.

Trump has repeatedly called the investigation a waste of taxpayer funds and a witch hunt.”]
