Trump launches fresh attack on Jeff Sessions amid growing speculation attorney general could be fired

Donald Trump has issued a fresh attack on Jeff Sessions, amid growing talk from Republican leaders about replacing the harried attorney general. Mr Trump has been outwardly dissatisfied with Mr Sessions since the former senator relinquished oversight of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election meddling last year. “Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position,” Mr Trump tweeted.
