Sessions broke from prepared remarks in a speech Friday on human trafficking. He praised Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein (ROH’-zen-styn) as well as the department’s No. 3 official, Rachel Brand. Sessions says both are experienced lawyers and “represent the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department.” TRENDING: RUTH BADER GINSBURG DEAD!

Trump said, “You figure that one out.”

Meanwhile, President Trump is none too pleased about the memo.

When asked about the document in the Oval Office Friday, the President responded, “”The memo was sent to Congress. They’re going to do whatever they’re going to do, but it’s a disgrace what’s happening in our country,””

Below is footage of the exchange between Trump and the press on Rosenstein.
