Trump criticizes Sessions after Alabama Senate primary heads to a runoff
President Trump criticized Republican Alabama Senate contender Jeff Sessions early Wednesday, asserting that his former attorney general didn't win the state's primary outright because of what Trump described as Sessions's lack of "wisdom or courage" in his handling of the Russia investigation.
"This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn't have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt," Trump tweeted, just hours after news broke that Tuesday's Senate primary in Alabama would advance to a runoff between Sessions and former football coach Tommy Tuberville.
"Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!" Trump added.
Trump's critical tweet about Sessions suggests the president may seek to boost Tuberville in the runoff election. Trump has thus far stayed out of the race, though a source familiar with the situation told The Hill last month that Trump could support Sessions's opponent if the race advanced to a runoff. Still, Wednesday's tweet did not contain an explicit endorsement of Tuberville.
