The days may be numbered for Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
President Trump has met privately with his advisers to discuss replacing Sessions, and some officials close to Trump are suggesting possible replacements, the Washington Post reports.
To some in Trump’s inner circle, firing Sessions would make it easier to fire special counsel Robert S. Mueller III, whose fate ultimately is determined by the attorney general.
But in Sessions’ case, the decision was made by Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein because Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
Trump has publicly berated Sessions’ for recusing himself.
If Sessions quits, Trump could replace him with someone who would fire Mueller.
On Monday and Tuesday, Trump attacked Sessions on Twitter.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!
