Trump to Sessions: 'Stop this rigged witch hunt'

No Images? Click here         Trump Calls On Jeff Sessions To Stop Mueller Investigation President Donald Trump on Wednesday said Attorney General Jeff Sessions “should stop this rigged witch hunt,” heightening his attacks on the special counsel’s investigation into whether his campaign colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election and whether he obstructed justice. The tweet will likely become part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe. Investigators have been looking at Trump’s Twitter rants to determine whether they’re part of an attempt to obstruct justice, The New York Times reported last week. Sessions recused himself from matters involving the investigation last year, after he lied about his meetings with Russian officials while an adviser to Trump’s campaign. His deputy later appointed Mueller as special counsel to pursue the probe. Since then, Trump has frequently raged at Sessions. He has suggested the attorney general should not have recused himself and has lamented naming Sessions to the Cabinet post.   READ MORE     WHAT ELSE IS HAPPENING?
