President Trump tore into Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a tweet early Tuesday, blaming him for the ongoing federal probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
“The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn’t tell me he was going to recuse himself…I would have quickly picked someone else,” Trump said.
“So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined…and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion!” he added.

Sessions, who was the first sitting U.S. senator to endorse Trump during the campaign, recused himself from the Russia probe last year, citing his contacts with Moscow’s U.S. envoy during the 2016 campaign.
Trump has since lashed out at Sessions for the move, viewing it as an act of betrayal.

Trump suggests he would have had Sessions shut down Russia probe if he hadn't recused himself: https://t.co/NHOjKpzj0T pic.twitter.com/2NUIqvM3ob

He's literally tweeting out evidence of his intent that can be used to prove obstruction. There's only one way to interpret this tweet: He's saying he would have chosen another attorney general who would have stopped the Russia probe.
