Trump attacked his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday morning and in the process admitted that he obstructed justice.
Trump tweeted:
This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins! https://t.co/2jGnRgOS6h
