Jeff Sessions strongly rebuked President Donald Trump late Friday after the president told Alabama voters to "not trust" the former attorney general over his recusal from the Justice Department's probe of Russian election meddling.
"Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law. I did my duty & you're damn fortunate I did," Sessions tweeted. "It protected the rule of law & resulted in your exoneration."
Sessions responded after the president tweeted his support for former Auburn football coach Tommy Tuberville, Sessions' primary opponent as he runs for the Senate seat he once held before being nominated by Trump to serve as the nation's top law enforcement officer in 2017.
