“I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” Trump told Hill.TV in an extensive and freewheeling interview Tuesday from the Oval Office.
The president has long excoriated Sessions for his March 2017 decision to recuse himself from the Russia collusion investigation. But on Tuesday he suggested he is frustrated bySessions’s performance on far more than that.
“I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this,” he said.
Trump suggested he had a personal blind spot when it came to nominating Sessions as the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
Sessions earned Trump’s initial favor by being the first U.S. senator to endorse his fledgling campaign.
Although Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation over the perception of impropriety, the FBI itself concluded the former lawmaker did not need to reveal contact with foreign government officials made during the course of his work as a senator.
