Dismayed by Trump  Head of Drug Enforcement Administration to Leave
WASHINGTON —  The acting head of the Drug Enforcement Administration  will resign at the end of the week  according to law enforcement officials  who said  he  had become convinced that  President Trump  had little respect for the law.
The official  Chuck Rosenberg  who twice served as chief of staff to the former F.B.I. director James B. Comey and remains a close confidant  had grown disillusioned with  Mr. Trump .  The president  fired Mr. Comey in May  and then in July told law enforcement officers “please don’t be too nice” when handling crime suspects.
Mr. Rosenberg forcefully rejected  Mr. Trump’s  comment  sending an email to all D.E.A. employees at the time to tell them that they should not mistreat suspects.
 Mr. Trump  has injected the White House into law enforcement matters in ways that have made many career officials uncomfortable.  The president  spoke disparagingly about ongoing criminal investigations into  his  own associates  encouraged the Justice Department to investigate political rivals including Hillary Clinton and said  he  would never have nominated Jeff Sessions to be attorney general if  he  had known Mr. Sessions would recuse  himself  from an investigation into  his  associates.
