Trump Intensifies Attacks on Sessions; Cruz & Giuliani Floated as Replacements

HeadlineJul 25, 2017

President Trump is intensifying his attacks against Attorney General Jeff Sessions over the ongoing investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia. On Monday night, Trump tweeted, “So why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?” Then, during a Twitter rant this morning, Trump lashed out at both Sessions and acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe, tweeting, “Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!” He also tweeted, “Problem is that the acting head of the FBI & the person in charge of the Hillary investigation, Andrew McCabe, got $700,000 from H for wife!” This comes after Trump said last week he never would have nominated Jeff Sessions to be attorney general if he had known Sessions was going to recuse himself from a Justice Department investigation into Trump’s ties to Russia. The Washington Post is reporting Trump and his advisers are considering replacing Sessions and that Texas Senator Ted Cruz and former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani are among the candidates being considered as Sessions’s replacement.
