White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told Fox News on Wednesday that she couldn’t confirm reports of Rod Rosenstein’s departure because she hadn’t spoken to him yet, but said no one was trying to oust the deputy attorney general.
I know the deputy attorney general has always planned to roughly stay around two years,” she told “Fox and Friends.”
“I haven’t spoken to the deputy attorney general myself, so I’ll leave any announcements for him or the President to make when they want to do that, but certainly I don’t think there’s any willingness by the President or the White House to push him out,” she continued. “My guess is that he is making room for the new attorney general to build a team that he wants around him.”

Sanders denied it, so it looks like Trump did in fact manage to push Rosenstein out.
WH: No ‘Willingness’ By Trump Or White House To ‘Push’ Rosenstein Out
Yep. Two weeks sounds about right.
You can almost time these exits by the comments that get released on tRump appointees by his staff.
No willingness to push him out… but we are glad to see him go.
Hey Sarah
Have I got a deal for you
Quick turnaround and you can resell it at a BIG profit
I have the feeling that no Press Secretary has spent less face to face time with a President than Sarah and Donald.
