His resignation comes after weeks of tension between the White House and the President’s legal team.

In recent weeks, Trump has said that his legal team has not done enough to beat back allegations linked to the federal investigations into Russian efforts to influence last year’s election. 

The legal team has also complained about the President and the White House’s response to revelations concerning the Russia probe including the President’s refusal to heed their advice not to publicly discuss or tweet about the Russia investigation and with the White House’s handling of reports connected to the probe.

At the moment, President Trump is reshuffling his legal team as special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation moves ahead with his investigation.
