President Donald Trump defended Attorney General Jeff Sessions in a series of tweets on Friday, calling accusations against his top law official a “total witch hunt!”
Trump repeated his view that the allegations against Sessions were a way for Democrats to explain the results of the 2016 presidential election.
“This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win,” he tweeted.
