President Trump slammed embattled Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a blistering attack in which he declared, “I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” according to a report.

Trump has railed against Sessions ever since he recused himself from the Russia collusion probe by special counsel Robert Mueller because he failed to mention meetings with the Russian ambassador to the US.

Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, who took over as the lead Justice official in the probe, appointed Mueller after Trump dumped FBI Director James Comey in May 2017.

But on Tuesday, Trump suggested during an Oval Office interview with Hill.TV that his frustration with Sessions’ performance far exceeds just his recusal.

“I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this,” he said.

The president suggested that he had a personal blind spot when it came to tapping the former Alabama senator as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.

“I’m so sad over Jeff Sessions because he came to me. He was the first senator that endorsed me. And he wanted to be attorney general, and I didn’t see it,” Trump told the news outlet.

“And then he went through the nominating process and he did very poorly. I mean, he was mixed up and confused, and people that worked with him for, you know, a long time in the Senate were not nice to him, but he was giving very confusing answers,” he continued.

“Answers that should have been easily answered. And that was a rough time for him.”

Trump suggested that Sessions’ experience during the nominating process in the Senate may have affected his performance.

“He gets in and probably because of the experience that he had going through the nominating when somebody asked him the first question about Hillary Clinton or something he said ‘I recuse myself, I recuse myself,’” he said.

“And now it turned out he didn’t have to recuse himself. Actually, the FBI reported shortly thereafter any reason for him to recuse himself. And it’s very sad what happened.”

In an early 2017 email to a Sessions aide, the FBI concluded that he did not need to reveal contacts with foreign government officials that were made during his work as a senator.

Sessions also incurred Trump’s wrath recently over the indictments of two GOP lawmakers, California Rep. Duncan Hunter and New York Rep. Chris Collins.

Trump criticized the “Jeff Sessions Justice Department” on Twitter for slapping corruption charges against the two “very popular” lawmakers “just ahead of the Mid-Terms.”

His exasperation with the AG also spilled over in one private conversation, Bob Woodward wrote in his new tell-all, “Fear,” with Trump telling former staff secretary Rob Porter: “This guy is mentally retarded. He’s this dumb Southerner … He couldn’t even be a one-person country lawyer down in Alabama.”

The president, who has disputed the anonymous claim in the book, demurred Tuesday on whether he might fire the attorney general.

“We’ll see what happens. A lot of people have asked me to do that. And I guess I study history, and I say I just want to leave things alone, but it was very unfair what he did,” he said, referring to the recusal decision.

“And my worst enemies, I mean, people that, you know, are on the other side of me, in a lot of ways including politically, have said that was a very unfair thing he did.

“We’ll see how it goes with Jeff. I’m very disappointed in Jeff. Very disappointed,” he concluded.
