President Donald Trump said he’s disappointed with Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from investigations of Russian interference in the 2016 election, and that “time will tell” if the nation’s top law enforcement officer remains in his job.
“He should not have recused himself almost immediately after he took office and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before taking office and I quite simply would have picked someone else,” Trump said Tuesday during a joint press conference at the White House with Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri.
