SNL's Anderson Cooper, played by Alex Moffat, asked Kate McKinnon, who was portraying Sessions, during a skit why Sessions was fired.

"Mr. McCabe was in clear violation because of his lack of candor, I don't know, I can't even dance around," McKinnon responded.

"Trump made me do it. McCabe, he saw too much."

Moffat then pressed McKinnon on whether or not it was Sessions's decision.

"I'm always down to clown, but this was sneaky, even for me," she responded. "I'm just a simple man who wanted to make things bad for immigrants and now, here I am, taking away the pension of a Christian white."

"Sessions" was also asked about rumors that he might be the next to go. McKinnon as Sessions said he can't believe he lasted this long in the administration, joking he is like the "Energizer Bunny."

The skit comes after Sessions on Friday fired McCabe.

McCabe's ouster came just days before he was scheduled to retire after more than 20 years at the bureau. McCabe had already stepped down under pressure in January and has been on a leave of absence since.
