Attorney General Jeff Sessions offers his condolences over the death of Senator John McCain, calling him a “great leader” with “relentless drive.”
In a statement Saturday, Sessions said the country was McCain’s top priority and “his ferocious tenacity for his country was unmatched.”
Sessions went on to say America has lost a great patriot and cited his support for the U.S. troop surge to Iraq back in 2007 as completely selfless and patriotic.
McCain first announced his brain cancer diagnosis in July of last year.
