WASHINGTON, April 29 (Xinhua) -- U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who two years ago appointed Robert Mueller as Special Counsel over investigation into the possible ties between President Donald Trump's campaign and Russia during the 2016 U.S. elections, submitted a long-expected resignation letter to Trump on Monday.
His resignation is effective May 11.
"I am grateful to you for the opportunity to serve; for the courtesy and humor you often display in our personal conversations; and for the goals you set in your inaugural address: patriotism, unity, safety, education and prosperity," Rosenstein wrote in the letter now widely circulated on the internet.
