Donald Trump has begged Attorney General Jeff Sessions to focus his attention on the president’s opponents. A war of words erupted between the two men after Trump criticized Sessions in his Fox & Friends interview Thursday morning for failing to control his department, after which the attorney general hit back saying the Department of Justice “will not be improperly influenced.” Undeterred, Trump then tried to improperly influence the DOJ in a Friday morning tweetstorm. He urged Sessions to “look into all of the corruption on the ‘other side’ including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems - and so much more. Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!”
