The Greatest - not one of
Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein resigns
Washington (CNN)Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who appointed special counsel Robert Mueller to investigate Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, submitted his resignation letter to the White House Monday.
It is effective May 11.
"We enforce the law without fear or favor because credible evidence is not partisan, and truth is not determined by opinion polls," Rosenstein wrote. "We ignore fleeting distractions and focus our attention on the things that matter, because a republic that endures is not governed by the news cycle."

Rosenstein often found himself the target President Donald Trump, especially after hiring Mueller in 2017. Shortly after being confirmed as deputy attorney general, Rosenstein wrote a memo criticizing former FBI Director James Comey amid Comey's investigation into Russia's 2016 actions, which Trump used as part of his reasoning in firing Comey.
After Comey was fired, Rosenstein brought Mueller in as special counsel to continue the investigation, and Mueller also looked at the question of obstruction of justice.
In the days after Trump fired Comey, Rosenstein discussed wearing a "wire" to record conversations with Trump and recruiting Cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office, The New York Times first reported and CNN later confirmed.
Earlier this month Rosenstein defended his handling of the Russia investigation and recalled during his Senate confirmation hearing that he had promised to "do it right" and "take it to the appropriate conclusion."
"It's not our job to render conclusive factual findings. We just decide whether it is appropriate to file criminal charges," Rosenstein said at an event in New York.

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump appeared unnerved as Joe Biden secured the endorsement of the top firefighters' union, issuing Monday a string of four tweets targeting the Democratic presidential candidate and union leaders.
That's exactly the behavior several of the President's political advisers have been warning him against, wary that Trump will elevate a potentially formidable rival, two sources familiar with the discussions told CNN.
"Sleepy Joe Biden is having his first rally in the Great State of Pennsylvania. He obviously doesn't know that Pennsylvania is having one of the best economic years in its history," Trump tweeted. "The Dues Sucking firefighters leadership will always support Democrats, even though the membership wants me. Some things never change!"
Within hours, the former vice president fired back, showing just why Trump's advisers might be concerned..
"I'm sick of this President badmouthing unions. Labor built the middle class in this country. Minimum wage, overtime pay, the 40-hour week: they exist for all of us because unions fought for those rights. We need a President who honors them and their work," Biden tweeted, engaging in the mano a mano Twitter fight many of his rivals would relish.
Don't get sucked in
The President has been advised in recent weeks not to get sucked into a one-on-one verbal brawl with any of the top contenders for the Democratic presidential nomination, mindful that squaring off with any of the contenders at this early stage could help elevate them in the eyes of Democratic voters and give them more oxygen to rise above the crowded pack. Those advisers, though, knew it was only a matter of time before Trump would do just that.
That advice has been especially true for taking aim at Biden, whom many Republican operatives -- and Trump himself -- believe would pose a significant threat to the President should he win the Democratic nomination.
Trump campaign operatives have been cautious not to weigh in on which candidate concerns them most as a general election nominee. And with Democratic candidates eager to prove that they are best positioned to beat Trump, several of the President's political advisers have cautioned him not to play into their hands by responding to their attacks at this early stage.
While the Trump campaign has released statements knocking top contenders as they entered the race, aides have said the campaign doesn't plan to go after specific candidates as their primary unfolds. Campaign aides also acknowledge that the President is the campaign's ultimate top strategist and if the President decides he wants to switch gears, the campaign will follow suit.
Trump, who has privately been unnerved at the prospect of a Biden candidacy, has struggled to resist getting drawn in by Biden's allure and his attacks since the former vice president officially entered the presidential race last week.
After Biden launched his campaign by focusing on the President's response to white supremacist demonstrations in Charlottesville, Virginia, Trump added fuel to the fire by defending his response once again -- this time saying he answered "perfectly" and reigniting a debate about his response, which prompted criticism even from fellow Republicans.
"If you look at what I said you will see that that question was answered perfectly," Trump told reporters Friday, before praising the former Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee as "one of the great generals."
And then came Monday's string of tweets.
Bring on Biden?
Not all of the President's allies and advisers are concerned about Trump elevating Biden.
One Trump adviser pointed out that Biden is "already polling at No. 1 or 2" in the Democratic field.
Jason Miller, a former top communications adviser to the Trump campaign and transition, said Trump was right to take shots at Biden on Monday.
"Everyone in the media is going to be covering today's Joe Biden event and they're going to be talking about Joe Biden, so why miss the opportunity to help frame the debate?" Miller said.
Miller also acknowledges he is in a "contrarian group" of strategists who believe Trump would be lucky to square off against Biden in the general election.
"I believe Joe Biden is the dream candidate that Donald Trump should want to run against in 2020," Miller said. "Biden is a recycled political candidate much in the same sense as former Secretary (Hillary) Clinton and Trump will be able to use Biden's 47 years in office as a massive blunt instrument to hit Biden over the head with again and again. Joe Biden being the Democrat's nominee allows Trump to be the change agent in 2020 even though he's the incumbent."

(CNN) President Donald Trump, three of his children -- Donald Jr., Eric and Ivanka -- and his business are suing two banks to block them from turning over financial records to congressional committees that have issued subpoenas for the information.
It's the second attempt in court that Trump has made this month to thwart the Democratic-led House of Representatives from investigating his financial history.
The legal action, filed in New York's Southern District, is against Deutsche Bank, one of Trump's lenders, and Capital One. Both banks "have long provided business and personal banking services to Plaintiffs," Trump's attorneys said.
"The subpoenas were issued to harass President Donald J. Trump, to rummage through every aspect of his personal finances, his businesses, and the private information of the President and his family, and to ferret about for any material that might be used to cause him political damage. No grounds exist to establish any purpose other than a political one," Trump's attorneys wrote in the complaint filed late Monday.
The lawsuit is the latest salvo by the President in efforts to hold off Democratic scrutiny of his business and personal finances, and is similar in legal strategy to actions brought last week against an accounting firm and a congressional chairman.
But Monday's lawsuit had a slight difference from the suit last week, in that neither the House itself nor House members are being sued. The other lawsuit, in federal court in Washington against the accounting firm Mazars USA and the House Oversight Committee, is also attempting to prevent the House from getting Trump's financial records.
The lawsuit in New York claims that the subpoenas the House Intelligence Committee and House Financial Services Committee sent to Deutsche Bank and Capital One aren't valid because they violate banking privacy law and they are not for shaping legislation. Yet at least one other court has said previously that claims like those can't stop congressional subpoenas.
In this new case, Trump's team says it couldn't get access to details of the subpoenas through the House committees and instead learned about them through Deutsche Bank on April 17.
Trump's attorneys say the chairs of the House Intelligence and Financial Services committees -- Reps. Adam Schiff and Maxine Waters, both of whom are California Democrats -- confirmed two banks received subpoenas from their committees for information related to Trump's finances but have refused to provide copies of the subpoenas.
The banks described the subpoenas to Trump's attorneys, according the lawsuit.
