President Trump is facing pressure from aides not to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, Reuters reported Wednesday.
Aides have warned the president that ousting his longtime political ally and top law enforcement official would only add to the controversies mounting around his administration in the wake of his decision to fire FBI Director James Comey last month.
But despite the pressure, one source noted that Trump does not always stick to the advice of his aides and associates.
“That’s the advice he’s been given. But he might not listen to that advice,” the source told Reuters.
Sessions reportedly recently offered to resign, telling the president that he needed the freedom to perform his job, though Trump ultimately did not accept the offer.

If I were Sessions, I’d leave now…voluntarily… while he still has a shred of a good reputation and a career.
