(CNN) Emmet Flood, the White House lawyer tasked with Mueller-related issues, will be leaving his position later this month, the President announced Saturday. "Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th," Trump tweeted. Flood has been in the White House since Ty Cobb's departure from the position last spring. The news was not a surprise, as Flood has been looking for the exits since the waning days of the Mueller investigation and had indicated to Trump weeks ago that he was likely to leave soon. Trump and Flood met Friday in the Oval Office to discuss the timing of Flood's exit from the White House, a source familiar with the meeting tells CNN.
