Huckabee Sanders: Sessions Did Not Meet With Trump

Attorney General Jeff Sessions visited the White House Monday but didn't meet with President Donald Trump, press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters.

Trump, Sanders said, is "very disappointed" with Sessions' recusal from the federal investigation into Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential election.

"I think the president has been extremely clear about his position, I know I've answered this question a number of times over the last week," Sanders told reporters aboard Air Force One according to a report in The Hill. "He's very disappointed that Attorney General Sessions chose to recuse himself, and there's not much more to add."

Trump last week slammed Sessions for recusing himself, telling The New York Times he never would have appointed him had he known he would do that. The president took another swipe at the attorney general Monday morning, calling him "our beleaguered A.G." in a tweet.

So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?
