President Trump continued to air his frustration with Attorney General Jeff Sessions, blasting him for not taking “control” of the Justice Department and for recusing himself from special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

“I put in an attorney general who never took control of the Justice Department. Jeff Sessions, never took control of the Justice Department. It’s sort of an incredible thing,” Trump told “Fox & Friends” in an interview that aired Thursday.

He also reiterated that had he known Sessions was going to recuse himself, he wouldn’t have appointed him attorney general.

“It’s a very, very sad day. Jeff Sessions recused himself, which he shouldn’t have done or he should have told me,” he said. “Even my enemies say that Jeff Sessions should have told you that he was going to recuse himself and then you wouldn’t have put him in.”

“He took my job, and then he said, ‘I’m going to recuse myself.’ I said, ‘What kind of man is this?'” Trump added.

He also said the reason he appointed Sessions, a former senator from Alabama and one of Trump’s first supporters, was because of his loyalty.

“And by the way, he was on the campaign,” he said. “You know, the only reason I gave him the job is because I felt loyalty. He was an original supporter.”

Despite his annoyance with the special counsel’s investigation, Trump declined to say whether he would fire Sessions or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who’s now Mueller’s boss.

“I will stay uninvolved and maybe that’s the best thing to do,” he said.

Trump also had harsh words for the Justice Department, saying corruption infected the organization during the Obama administration.

“When everybody sees what’s going on in the Justice Department, I always put ‘justice’ now with quotes, it’s a very, very sad day,” he said.
