YouTube Description
as posted by the channelIs Jeff Sessions on his way out? John Iadarola, Ana Kasparian, and Amberia Allen, the hosts of The Young Turks, tell you about the internal feud between Trump and Sessions. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“The latest and most glaring sign of President Donald Trump’s growing isolation in the West Wing is his rift with Jeff Sessions, who prior to taking the helm at the Justice Department served as a critical bridge between Trump and Congress as one of the earliest, most vocal supporters of his presidential campaign. Sessions reportedly offered to resign as U.S. attorney general late last month because of the deteriorating relationship.
Trump’s slow-burning fury apparently stems from Sessions’ voluntary recusal from the sprawling federal investigation into Russian interference in the U.S. election, as well as any matters concerning the Trump campaign, according to a bevy of fresh reports from CNN, ABC News, the Washington Post and Politico. The President felt that move was unnecessary, and anonymous sources close to the administration told news outlets that he blames Sessions both for the expansion of the Russia probe and the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller to oversee it.
Trump also lashed out at Sessions’ Justice Department this week, blaming the agency for the “watered down” second iteration of his executive order temporarily barring immigration from a handful of majority-Muslim countries.
The attorney general’s own frustration with the President, escalated by a series of public and private clashes over the recusal, prompted Sessions to offer his resignation just before Trump left on his first trip abroad as President in late May, according to Politico.”
