Is President Trump Getting Ready To Fire Jeff Sessions?

Within the past few days, many rumors of President Trump’s supposed plans to fire and replace Jeff Sessions have surfaced. Newsmax alleges that the President’s confidants believe he might be considering Texas Senator Ted Cruz as a replacement Attorney General, although Cruz has denied these claims. Additionally, President Trump’s advisers affirm that the Commander in Chief would like for Sessions to step down from his position, as opposed to being terminated.

In light of the growing questions about the President and Attorney General, White House Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders made the following statements:

“You can be disappointed in someone but still want them to continue to do their job, and that’s where they are. He wants him to lead the Department of Justice. . . . He wants him to focus on things like immigration, leaks and a number of other issues.”

Jeff Sessions has made his desire to continue serving as Attorney General quite clear. None of the President’s criticisms seem to have any impact on Sessions and there has been no talk of him resigning. If the President truly plans to replace Sessions, he will most likely have to fire him. However, President Trump’s repeated expressions of disapproval towards Sessions have caused many people to wonder whether his days as Attorney General are numbered. Truthfully, time will tell.
