White house official about this earlier today, who said, once again, donald trump was pressuring jeff sessions as the attorney general to conduct these types of probes. jeff sessions was pushing back on the president at that time, and trump was on a tirade about it according to this former white house official. lastly, wolf, one final thing i just want to say is they were leaking all the time inside this trump white house. dana knows this all too well. she was talking into sources inside the adm...
