Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., believes President Trump has the right to feel “betrayed” by Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election.

“People have a legitimate right, the president has a legitimate right to say that he was betrayed, just like Jeff Sessions betrayed us,” Rohrabacher told CNN on Friday.

Sessions in March announced his recusal from the Russia probe after it was revealed he didn’t disclose conversations with then-Russian ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak that occurred in 2016.

After Sessions recused himself, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein selected Robert Mueller to serve as special counsel to oversee the Russia investigation.

Trump has publicly and privately vented about Sessions’ decision to recuse himself, and the president reportedly instructed White House counsel Don McGahn last year to talk the attorney general out of doing so.
