Michael Cohen, President Trump’s longtime confidant and former personal attorney, has resigned from his post as deputy finance chair of the Republican National Committee's Finance Committee, sources close to the RNC told ABC News.

In his resignation letter to Ronna McDaniel, the RNC chair, Cohen cited the ongoing special counsel investigation as one reason for his departure. ABC News has reviewed the email.

“This important role requires the full time attention and dedication of each member. Given the ongoing Mueller and SDNY investigations, that simply is impossible for me to do,” he wrote.

Cohen also criticized the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the southern border, the first time he’s distanced himself from the president.

1. Cohen also criticized the administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents

You gotta be kidding me! He's gonna flip and flip hugely!

[Volaris]

2. He's gonna roll.

kinda hard to count somebody elses money when youre busy turning States Evidence...

[marylandblue]

3. Hard to run a finance committee while.sharing a cell with grifter Manafort

[brooklynite]

4. Sure would be stressful if he was separated from his daughter...for five to fifteen.

[Achilleaze]

5. RNC expresses it's deep disappointment

at losing one of their principal russian moneybuck bagmen.

8. No problem; Pruitt is the bagman now. That's why the Cone of Silence.

14. Was he looking for a new mattress to stash his

dirty money or shredded papers.

[lagomorph777]

15. No, just a personal preference; he likes the aroma of dried bodily fluids.

[flibbitygiblets]

16. Good one!

That used mattress thing was really weird. He spends millions of our money on unnecessary travel, protection and high-end lotion, and then wants a used hotel mattress?

[BigmanPigman]

18. Kinky, cheap or crazy?

Or all of the above?

[marble falls]

6. So its going to be a slow roll.

[RockRaven]

7. Indictment's coming, I guess. He's been under investigation forever, so that's not an honest reason.

Interesting he threw shade about immigration policy. Pissing off Trump isn't going to help him get a pardon.

Ergo he must be locked in on cooperating as his best move, instead of banking on a pardon. Which it is, but he's finally arrived there in his mind, apparently.

[lagomorph777]

10. Yeah, he finally figured out that Trump Loyalty is one-way.

[onetexan]

11. exactly, a pardon means admission of guilt

which means he will be disbarred and never be able to practice law again even with a pardon. He'll remain a pariah within the legal community having been pardoned and having been the idiot's long time mafia family consigliere.

[flibbitygiblets]

17. Just guessing that the legal profession will survive without his "services"

He wasn't exactly arguing cases before the Supreme Court.

[Grins]

9. Not "KICKED OUT"; resigned. That tells you plenty about the GOP NM

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Took him long enough. . . . nt

[SHRED]

13. How will the RNC get it's rubles?

[zentrum]

19. Translation: I helped Trump

….get elected, cover-up, receive corrupt money but now that I've been busted I gotta clean up my profile and look like a good guy. Got my eye on the jury pool and all.

20. Can't he telecommute from prison?
