Trump Rips AG Sessions Again: ‘Very Weak Position on Hillary Clinton Crimes’President Donald Trump
again criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday, after he recused himself from the ongoing Russia investigation.
“So where is the investigation A.G.” Trump wrote on Twitter after noting reports that Democrats worked with Ukrainians to help sabotage his presidential campaign.
Trump also criticized Sessions for taking “a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes”
failing to investigate his former opponent’s deleted emails and the reportedly “hacked” DNC server. He also urged his attorney general to investigate the leaks of national intelligence.
The president also questioned Sessions failure to investigate Clinton’s ties to Russia, in a Twitter message on Monday.
“
Why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?” he asked.
Trump and his team are discussing the
option of replacing Sessions and ending Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, according to the Washington Post and the Associated Press.
The president’s decision to undermine Sessions suggests that he wants the attorney general to resign. His attacks against his attorney general, one of Trump’s earliest and most influential supporters, has worried prominent conservatives.
“It’s also kind of, you know, a little bit discomforting, unseemly for Trump to go after such a loyal supporter this way,” talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said on Monday. “Especially when
Sessions made it obvious he’s not gonna resign.”
Speaking to reporters, White House director of communications admitted that it was likely that
Trump wanted Sessions to resign.
“They need to either get together or separate,” he said.

Trump leaves Sessions twisting in the wind while berating him publicly
By Sari Horwitz, Matt Zapotosky and Robert Costa
July 24President Trump and his advisers are privately
discussing the possibility of replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and some confidants are floating prospects who could take his place were he to resign or be fired, according to people familiar with the talks.
Members of Trump’s circle, including White House officials, have increasingly raised the question among themselves in recent days as the president has
continued to vent his frustration with the attorney general, the people said.
The president took another swipe at Sessions on Monday, calling his attorney general “
our beleaguered A.G.” and asking why Sessions was not “looking into Crooked Hillary’s crimes & Russia relations?”
Both points are notable. Sessions was once considered one of Trump’s closest advisers and enjoyed access few others had.
Now he is left to endure regular public criticism by his boss.
