“No, I’m not at all,” he told reporters. "I’m not at all concerned.”

The president said he has not spoken to Sessions about what he discussed with the special counsel’s office.

“No, I didn’t. But I’m not at all concerned,” Trump said.

Trump's comment comes after the Justice Department confirmed that Sessions was interviewed last week as part of Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
