Trump Bashes Jeff Sessions And “Sleazy” Adam Schiff

The Daily Beast reports:

President Trump kicked off Monday morning with a tweet that seemed to reflect his open hostility towards Jeff Sessions, his own 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 long-time supporter Sessions as troubled.

Trump on Saturday slammed what he called “a new intelligence leak” against Sessions, referring to The Washington Post’s reporting on Friday that Sessions discussed campaign-related matters with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign.

Sessions was one of Trump’s earliest supporters during the presidential campaign. Trump told The Times last Wednesday that he would not have appointed Sessions as attorney general if he knew Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. He also criticized Sessions for “[giving] some bad answers” during his confirmation hearing.

Trump also attacked California Rep. Adam Schiff today. The Democratic lawmaker is the ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee, which is investigating whether associates of Trump conspired with Russia during the campaign.
