From the time he was nominated I've thought there was a secret agreement he accepted from Trump not to recuse himself (very important to Trump because of Sessions recusal) and to give Trump favorable rulings on certain key issues to Trump. He was bought by Trump and I'm sure Trump will fight like hell to keep him from withdrawing.
