Sen. Graham Thinks President Trump Will Fire Attorney General Sessions Following Midterms


GOP Senator Lindsay Graham said he believes President Trump may fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, following the upcoming midterm elections.
Graham made the suggestion to reporters Thursday, saying the president should be able to have confidence in his attorney general.
He went on to warn against firing him before the November elections, noting it could “create havoc.”
This comes as Sessions has been under fire from President Trump, with the president claiming he’s failed to take control of the Justice Department.

“I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice,” stated Senator Graham. “Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn’t have the confidence of the president.”
Sessions fired back, saying he “took control” the day he was sworn in to his role and is proud to serve his country.
He went on to say the Justice Department will not be affected by “political considerations,” while touting prosecutors and investigators for their talent.
