"Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th," Trump wrote.

Emmet Flood, who came to the White House to help me with the Mueller Report, will be leaving service on June 14th. He has done an outstanding job – NO COLLUSION - NO OBSTRUCTION! Case Closed! Emmet is my friend, and I thank him for the GREAT JOB he has done. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 1, 2019

"He has done an outstanding job – NO COLLUSION - NO OBSTRUCTION! Case Closed!" the president added. "Emmet is my friend, and I thank him for the GREAT JOB he has done."

The Wall Street Journal reported in March that Flood was expected to leave the White House in the months after Mueller's investigation concluded, citing sources familiar with the matter.

The Hill has reached out to The White House for additional comment.

Flood also helped defend former President Clinton during his impeachment proceedings in the 1990s.

While representing the Trump White House, Flood complained that the Mueller report contained "political" statements in a letter to Attorney General William Barr Bill BarrHarris faces pivotal moment with Supreme Court battle Hillicon Valley: DOJ proposes tech liability shield reform to Congress | Treasury sanctions individuals, groups tied to Russian malign influence activities | House Republican introduces bill to set standards for self-driving cars McCarthy threatens motion to oust Pelosi if she moves forward with impeachment MORE, according to multiple reports.

In the letter, Flood said the report was suffering from “an extraordinary legal defect” and criticized Mueller for saying that his inquiry did not "exonerate" the president.
