Changed his mind like Flynn and co-operating with Mueller?
Speaking of Flynn
House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) said Thursday that the release of the memo “does not impugn the Mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general” during a press conference at a GOP congressional retreat in West Virginia
That appears to be news to Orrin Hatch
After failing to get Sessions or Rosenstein to resign, and getting talked out of firing Mueller, Trump has quite clearly shifted to trying to find a pretext to fire Rosenstein and GOP Congress not doing a jot to stop it.

Of course, this is all part of draining the swamp:

The Trump administration’s top public health official bought shares in a tobacco company one month into her leadership of the agency charged with reducing tobacco use — the leading cause of preventable disease and death and an issue she had long championed.
The stock was one of about a dozen new investments that Brenda Fitzgerald, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, made after she took over the agency’s top job, according to documents obtained by POLITICO. Fitzgerald has since come under congressional scrutiny for slow walking divestment from older holdings that government officials said posed potential conflicts of interest.
Buying shares of tobacco companies raises even more flags than Fitzgerald’s trading in drug and food companies because it stands in such stark contrast to the CDC’s mission to persuade smokers to quit and keep children from becoming addicted. Critics say her trading behavior broke with ethical norms for public health officials and was, at best, sloppy. At worst, they say, it was legally problematic if she didn't recuse herself from government activities that could have affected her investments.
