President Trump began his day Tuesday with a series of tweets expressing open hostility toward his own attorney general. “Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” Trump wrote. “Ukrainian efforts to sabotage Trump campaign—‘quietly working to boost Clinton.’ So where is the investigation A.G. @seanhannity.” According to a report from the Associated Press, Trump has spoken with advisers about firing Sessions. Just a day earlier, Trump attacked a “beleaguered” Sessions for failing to look into Clinton’s emails from her private server. Last week the commander in chief told The New York Times he would not have appointed Sessions if he knew he would recuse himself from the Russia probe. Trump also cheered son-in-law/adviser Jared Kushner for his public denial of election collusion with Russian officials and snarked that another family member will be targeted next. “Jared Kushner did very well yesterday in proving he did not collude with the Russians. Witch Hunt. Next up, 11 year old Barron Trump!”
