The New York Times reports:
In a remarkable public break with one of his earliest political
supporters, Mr. Trump complained that Mr. Sessions’s decision ultimately
led to the appointment of a special counsel that should not have
happened. “Sessions should have never recused himself and if he was
going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job
and I would have picked somebody else,” Mr. Trump said.
In a wide-ranging interview with The New York Times, the president
also accused James B. Comey, the F.B.I. director he fired in May, of
trying to leverage a dossier of compromising material to keep his job.
Mr. Trump criticized both the acting F.B.I. director who has been
filling in since Mr. Comey’s dismissal and the deputy attorney general
who recommended it. And he took on Robert S. Mueller III, the special
counsel now leading the investigation into Russian meddling in last
year’s election.
Mr. Trump said Mr. Mueller was running an office rife with
conflicts of interest and warned that investigators would cross a red
line if they delve into Trump family finances unrelated to Russia. Mr.
Trump never said he would order the Justice Department to fire Mr.
Mueller, nor would he outline circumstances under which he might do so.
But he left open the possibility as he expressed deep grievance over an
investigation that has taken a political toll in the six months since he
took office.
