President Trump kicked off Monday morning with a tweet that seemed to reflect his open hostility toward Jeff Sessions, his appointee as attorney general. “So why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?” the president wrote, describing his longtime supporter Sessions as troubled. Trump last week told The New York Times that he would not have appointed Sessions had he known he would recuse himself from the Russia probe. Sessions, of course, was forced to recuse himself after it was revealed that he’d met with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign, despite claiming otherwise during his Senate confirmation hearings.
