President Donald Trump wrote online Tuesday that Jeff Sessions is not a “real” attorney general, heaping fresh blame onto him for the Russia investigation that has served as a drag on Trump’s time in the White House.
It was the latest attack from Trump, who has long harassed Sessions for recusing himself from the Justice Department’s probe into whether Trump campaign officials colluded with the Russian government to interfere in the 2016 election. On Saturday, the president accused Sessions of being “scared stiff” and “missing in action.”
On Tuesday morning, Trump quoted Fox News analyst Gregg Jarrett and added a swipe at Sessions.
“’They were all in on it, clear Hillary Clinton and FRAME Donald Trump for things he didn’t do.’ Gregg Jarrett on @foxandfriends,” Trump wrote on Twitter. “If we had a real Attorney General, this Witch Hunt would never have been started! Looking at the wrong people.”
