In a series of tweets Tuesday, President Trump went on the attack against Sessions.
BBC reports:
His latest Twitter onslaught comes amid reports the president is consulting advisers about possibly firing the country’s top prosecutor.
On Monday, he called Mr Sessions “beleaguered” in another tweet.
Mr Trump has made clear he is unhappy with Mr Sessions for recusing himself from an FBI inquiry into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 election.
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” Mr Trump tweeted on Tuesday.
Moments earlier he questioned in another post why Mr Sessions was not looking into a report earlier this year that officials in Ukraine had sought to influence last year’s US presidential election in favour of Mr Trump’s Democratic rival.
