! Lindsey Graham says it’s “very likely” Trump will replace Jeff Sessions but warns him not to do so until AFTER the midterms.
Says president deserves to have an AG he has confidence in and it’s clear he does not have confidence in Sessions.— Steven Dennis (@StevenTDennis) August 23, 2018
Trump’s trying to push Sessions aside.
Sessions was one of the first to endorse Trump (Collins and Hunter were 1/2). That means it’s only a matter of time before Sessions is also indicted on federal charges (and no this isn’t sarcasm - Sessions has knowledge of meetings, engaged in contacts with Russian foreign agents and lied about it, and lied to Congress during his confirmation hearing).
So, Trump’ll dump Sessions and then find someone to be AG - which puts him in even greater legal jeopardy as Sessions himself could be a focus of Mueller and other federal prosecutors as this progresses.
