President Donald Trump renewed criticism of his former Attorney General Jeff Sessions as he reiterated an endorsement for Sessions’ opponent in a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama.

Sessions left the Senate to join Trump’s cabinet in 2017, but Trump grew upset with him when he recused himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including an examination of possible links between Russia and Trump’s campaign.
