What is the current state of the relationship between President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions? According to several sources, it’s not as amicable as it once was. USA Today alleged that “things appear to be tense” between the two men and a source at the New York Times asserts that the President has “grown sour on Mr. Sessions, blaming him for troubles that have plagued the White House.” Are these rumors true or merely more baseless conspiracy theories engendered by the liberal mainstream media? Only time will tell. However, when Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about any discord between President Trump and Jeff Sessions, he stated that he had not spoken with the President about the matter.

The foundation of these speculations seem to stem from the theory that President Trump is unhappy with Jeff Sessions’ decision to recuse himself from the far fetched Russia conspiracy theory. Despite this, Sessions has been a very strong supporter of President Trump for quite some time. He was one of the first lawmakers to endorse Mr. Trump during the 2016 election and he supported the President’s decision to fire former FBI director James Comey. Until the President himself comes out and affirms any discord between himself and the Attorney General, it is safe to chalk up the rumors to hearsay.
