Jeff Sessions' Tenure as Attorney General of the United States

Sessions' service as attorney general of the United States did not come without challenges. He frequently faced backlash from Americans on both sides of the aisle. Democrats disliked his policies and the administration which he worked for. Conversely, Republicans believed that Sessions failed to effectively crack down on issues which matter to the right-wing.

Earlier this year, calls for Sessions' resignation began to mount. Before the second half of 2018, President Trump already started to openly express his regret over hiring Sessions. Apparently, the commander-in-chief's disappointment in the former attorney general has not subsided since the latter's resignation.

Months prior to Sessions resignation, he cited concerns about a lack of free speech on American college campuses.

The Latest on the Russia Investigation

The Russia investigation has attracted new speculation and controversy in this month alone. Americans recently learned that Cohen will serve 36 months in prison for tax evasion, campaign finance violations, and other crimes. Since his sentencing, Cohen has spoken out, stating that Trump ordered him to commit crimes. However, the president strongly denied Cohen's accusations; Trump also maintains that Cohen misrepresented his employment for the sake of a more lenient sentencing.

Mueller's ongoing investigation has also prompted the downfall of Michael Flynn, the president's former national security adviser. In 2017, Flynn admitted to purposefully deceiving the FBI during the Russia probe. While some conservatives have questioned whether or not Flynn fell victim to deception, Mueller claims that authorities never manipulated Flynn into deceiving them.

Americans on both sides of the aisle have adopted their own outlooks on Robert Mueller's probe. Sessions has not publically responded to President Trump's tweets.
