After a roller-coaster tenure as attorney general, Jeff Sessions was forced to resign. He’s been on the president’s hit list ever since he recused himself from the Russia investigation shortly after taking office. “I should not be involved investigating a campaign I had a role in.” As recently as August, Trump went after Sessions, tweeting that “Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witch hunt right now.” In June it was more of the same. “Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself. I would have quickly picked someone else.” The grudge goes back even further. This was Trump in 2017: “So Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself. I then have — which frankly, I think is very unfair to the president.” A week later at a press conference with the Lebanese prime minister, he continued to lash out. “I told you before, I’m very disappointed with the attorney general. But we will see what happens. Time will tell. Time will tell.” Sessions was one of Trump’s earliest establishment supporters. But that was then. Now, President Trump will appoint a new attorney general and potentially clear the way to derail the Russia inquiry.
