The dinner caps off a day that saw Trump's latest criticism of Sessions. In a tweet Wednesday morning, Trump called it "DISGRACEFUL" that Sessions would have the Justice Department's inspector general investigate the FBI's handling of the Russia investigation, instead of launching his own probe into the matter.

"Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse. Will take forever, has no prosecutorial power and already late with reports on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an Obama guy? Why not use Justice Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!" Trump tweeted.

The attack came after Sessions said the inspector general would look into potential abuses by the FBI and Justice Department in the early days of the investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 election.

Trump has repeatedly berated Sessions publicly, particularly over the attorney general's decision last year to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia probe.

After Sessions's recusal, Rosenstein took on the responsibility of overseeing the investigation, which is being carried out by special counsel Robert Mueller Robert (Bob) MuellerCNN's Toobin warns McCabe is in 'perilous condition' with emboldened Trump CNN anchor rips Trump over Stone while evoking Clinton-Lynch tarmac meeting The Hill's 12:30 Report: New Hampshire fallout MORE.
