President Donald Trump called Jeff Sessions, who he handpicked for the 2017 appointment, a 'disaster' who was never qualified for the role of attorney general
President Donald Trump on Sunday ramped up his ongoing feud with former Attorney General Jeff Sessions Sunday, claiming Sessions wasn’t"mentally qualified" for the job.
"He's not mentally qualified to be Attorney General," Trump said."He was the biggest problem. I mean, look Jeff Sessions put people in place that were a disaster." Sessions responded to Trump’s comments Saturday on Twitter, defending his recusal and telling the president he was"damn fortunate" for it.
Sessions and Tuberville finished neck-and-neck in March in a Republican primary, setting up for a July 14 runoff. The runoff winner will face off in November against Democratic Sen. Doug Jones, who won Sessions’ former seat in a 2017 special election.
