Newsdeck: Rod Rosenstein, U.S. deputy attorney general who appointed Mueller, submits resignation By Reuters reuters

Mueller’s investigation did not establish evidence that Trump’s campaign illegally conspired with Moscow. “We enforce the law without fear or favor because credible evidence is not partisan,” Rosenstein wrote in his resignation letter.
