Trump: Sessions ’doesn’t understand’ what’s happening at DOJ, ‘real corruption goes untouched’

Updated

President Trump on Saturday again went after his attorney general Jeff Sessions and the Justice Department.

“Jeff Sessions said he wouldn’t allow politics to influence him only because he doesn’t understand what is happening underneath his command position. Highly conflicted Bob Mueller and his gang of 17 Angry Dems are having a field day as real corruption goes untouched. No Collusion!” Trump wrote on Twitter.

The tweet came a day after Trump attacked Sessions over a statement he had issued on Thursday.

“‘Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.’ Jeff, this is GREAT, what everyone wants, so look into all of the corruption on the ‘other side’ including deleted Emails, Comey lies & leaks, Mueller conflicts, McCabe, Strzok, Page, Ohr, FISA abuse, Christopher Steele & his phony and corrupt Dossier, the Clinton Foundation, illegal surveillance of Trump Campaign, Russian collusion by Dems – and so much more,” Trump tweeted on Friday.

“Open up the papers & documents without redaction?” Trump added. “Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!”

And in an interview with ‘Fox & Friends’ that aired Thursday morning, Trump slammed Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation.

“Jeff Sessions recused himself, which he shouldn’t have done or he should have told me,” Trump said. “He took the job and then said, ’I’m going to recuse myself.’ I said, ‘what kind of a man is this?’ He was on the campaign. He knows there was no collusion.”
