WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department’s third-ranking official, Rachel Brand, plans to step down and take a senior job at Walmart Inc(WMT.N), sources familiar with her decision said on Friday, at a time when President Donald Trump has taken aim at senior law enforcement officials.
Brand was next in line of succession to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein for oversight of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into potential collusion between Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and Russia and whether the Republican president has unlawfully sought to obstruct the ongoing probe.

Apparently, Rachel Brand is leaving the Justice Department. She would've been right behind Rosenstein in overseeing the Mueller probe. The path appears to be clearing further for Trump to make his move.
