US President Donald Trump's lead lawyer for the special counsel investigation into Russia interference in the 2016 election has resigned, US media report.
John Dowd is reported to have concluded that Mr Trump was increasingly ignoring his advice.
Other reports say Mr Trump had lost confidence in Mr Dowd's ability to handle special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mr Trump has recently begun publicly criticising Mr Mueller by name, rather than just his inquiry.
