Donald Trump lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions again on Tuesday, drawing an immediate backlash from Republican senators who rallied around their former colleague in a direct rebuke of the president.
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” Trump tweeted on Tuesday morning, the latest volley in an apparent campaign to pressure Sessions to quit. Trump has said he’s angry that the former Alabama senator, one of the first members of Congress to support his presidential campaign, recused himself from the Justice Department’s probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
