Trump tells Sessions to probe corruption on the ‘other side’

Bloomberg

President Donald Trump said he wants Jeff Sessions to look into corruption on the “other side” of the Russia investigation that he regularly derides as a witch hunt, as the row between the two men threatened the attorney general’s job security.
Trump’s call came the day after Fox News aired an interview in which the president bashed Sessions by saying he never gained control over the Justice Department and asking “what type of man” would recuse himself from the Russia probe as Sessions did.
Sessions, who represented Alabama in the Senate for
20 years and was an early backer of Trump, defended his performance in a statement, saying “the actions of the Department of Justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations.”
Trump quoted back that statement in his tweet, adding, “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.” Later on, he said: “Open up the papers & documents without redaction? Come on Jeff, you can do it, the country is waiting!”
Keeping up the attacks on Sessions, Trump pointed to the 5-year prison sentence
a federal judge handed down against former Air Force
linguist and intelligence contractor Reality Winner for leaking a top-secret report on Russian hacking. “Gee, this is ‘small potatoes’ compared to what Hillary Clinton did! So unfair Jeff, Double Standard,” he wrote.
