On
Monday, Trump lashed out at Jeff Sessions in a slew of tweets, and accused him
of hurting GOP chances within the upcoming mid-terms with a sequence of Justice
Department investigations.
Apparently,
the president was referring to the present investigations into Republicans
Chris Collins of New York and Duncan Hunter of California.
Hunter
and wife, Margaret, were indicted in August on charges of filing false records
and illegally converting $250,000 into campaign funds for personal costs, while
Chris was indicted last month on charges of insider trading. Prosecutors pin-pointed
the insider trading charge to June 2017, after the president took office.
President
Trump also tweeted this.
The
tweets on Monday continued a long-running complaint Trump had with the Attorney
General ever since he recused himself in 2017 from the Russia investigation. In
August, Trump tweeted that Jeff ‘does not understand what’s happening under his
command position’ and told sources that his AG ‘never had taken control of his
department.’
Also,
Trump said the only reason he named Jeff to one of his most critical
Cabinet-level positions was the previous Alabama senator's earlier support within
the 2016 election.
Trump
tells Bloomberg he won’t fire Sessions before the mid-term elections, threatens
to pull the United States out of the World Trade Organization if it doesn’t
'shape up.'
The
statements prompted a response from Jeff, who stated that ‘while he is AG, the
actions of the DOJ won’t be incorrectly influenced by political considerations.’
On
Thursday, in an interview with Bloomberg, Trump stated that Jeff would remain within
his job at least until the midterms. Trump didn’t elaborate on whether he’d
keep Jeff on as AG after the election.
