This is the latest in the escalating war between the two and comes after Jeff Sessions fires back at President Trump following an interview the president did with Fox And Friends in which he criticized the a. G. In a statement, sessions said the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. The president repeated those words in a tweet adding, jeff, this is great.

I hope the relationship gets better. If it doesnt, i would imagine the president is going to look for a new Attorney General. Because whats going on is unsustainable. Im not blaming enough. I love Jeff Sessions. But from many i point of view, the country is not being wellserved with this much friction. Some of the Republican Leadership are not are the same page as senator graham. John cornyn said i know this is
a difficult position for him, a reference to sessions, to be in, but it would be bad for the country, bad for the president and bad for the department of justice to be forced out under these circumstances.
