Attorney General Jeff Sessions Replaced By Matthew Whitaker; Trump Attacked Sessions After He Recused Himself From Russia Investigations, Publicly Asked Him To End “Rigged Witch Hunt”
“Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned on Wednesday [November 7, 2018] at President Trump’s request.” He was replaced by Matthew Whitaker, Sessions’ Chief of Staff. Trump publicly attacked and insulted Sessions after Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation when it was determined that Sessions had met with Russian officials and lied about it.
..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!

“Whitaker also will oversee special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation” which was previously managed by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.
