Republican Senator Urges President Trump Against Firing AG Sessions

On Sunday, Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan stated that President Donald Trump should not fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, reports The Hill.
An Overview of Sullivan's Statements
During an NBC interview, the Republican senator first affirmed his support for the attorney general.
"I supported Jeff Sessions when he was nominated," Sullivan said. "I certainly voted for him, and I think he’s doing a good job."
Sullivan furthermore stated that while the president is within his rights to fire Sessions, he should not do so.
"Would it be politically wise? I don’t think so," Sullivan said. "I support Jeff Sessions and the job he's doing right now."
The GOP senator's interview comes after Trump's announcement that Sessions will remain employed as the attorney general until this year's midterm elections.
The Relationship Between Trump and Sessions
The relationship between the president and the attorney general was once amicable. Sessions was one of the first individuals to endorse Trump during the 2016 presidential campaign. However, Trump and Sessions' relationship has soured.
The president has repeatedly censured Sessions for his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Trump felt that Sessions should have remained involved in the investigation.
Earlier this year, the president also slammed the attorney general's management of FISA abuse allegations. Trump stated that Sessions should not have used the "Inspector General," but instead "Justice Department lawyers."
Since then, various Americans have speculated about whether Trump will relieve Sessions of his duties. Sessions has faced bipartisan calls for his resignation: Democrats believe the attorney general's commentary and policies are inappropriate. Republicans, on the other hand, maintain that Sessions has failed to properly do his job, halt government corruption and subdue the president's enemies.
In May, Trump publicly expressed regret about hiring Sessions because of his recusal. He stated that he wished he'd picked one of the other "really good lawyers."
