Donald Trump leveled a new body blow at Jeff Sessions on Monday, asking on Twitter why the attorney general he appointed isn’t running a criminal investigation of Hillary Clinton.
‘So why aren’t the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys [sic] crimes & Russia relations?’ the president tweeted.
Trump raked Sessions over the coals last week during an impromptu interview with three New York Times reporters, saying he could never have appointed him to lead the Justice Department if he had known his pick would recuse himself from Russia-related investigations.
A White House spokeswoman later suggested the president had confidence in Sessions, and the attorney general himself announced that he had every intention of remaining in his job ‘as long as that is appropriate.’
Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta sat on the board of a green-energy company called Joule Unlimited, according to ‘Clinton Cash’ author Peter Schweizer.
That company received $35 million in 2011 from a Kremlin-backed investment fund that Russian President Vladimir Putin founded.
Podesta went to work for the Obama White House While Hillary Clinton was secretary of state, choosing to transfer his shares in the company to a company controlled by his adult children.
Trump seemed to highlight this and other quirks of Clinton’s inner circle in a pair of weekend tweets.
‘So many people are asking why isn’t the A.G. or Special Council [sic] looking at the many Hillary Clinton or Comey crimes. 33,000 e-mails deleted?’ the president wrote.
‘What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia,’ Trump added, ‘including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc.’
