Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is telling reporters there’s a good chance President Donald Trump will fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions in the foreseeable future.

The senator, speaking to Bloomberg, noted how obvious it is that Sessions doesn’t have Trump’s confidence as head of the Justice Department. However, Graham believes that the president could “create havoc” if he fires Sessions before the midterm elections, and the resulting political explosion could also endanger Brett Kavanaugh‘s chances of getting confirmed to the Supreme Court.

“The president’s entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that’s qualified for the job,” Graham said, “And I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice.”

Trump has been loud and clear with his displeasure over Sessions’ recusal from the ongoing investigation into Russia’s activities in 2016. During his interview yesterday with Fox News, Trump tore into Sessions again while speaking about the double bombshell regarding the legal troubles of Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen.
