Trump intensifies criticism of his own attorney general

The men used to be close: Sessions first appeared with Trump at a rally in the then-senator's home state of Alabama in August 2015, an event that drew a massive crowd and was, for many members of Trump's inner circle, one of the first signs that their candidate was catching on.

Sessions then became the first U.S. senator to endorse Trump and a frequent campaign adviser. When Trump was elected, Sessions was given a pick of prime Cabinet spots and expressed interest in being attorney general, giving up a safe Senate seat and decades of seniority.

The broadside against Sessions in the interview was not a calculated ploy to force the attorney general to resign but rather Trump's frustration with his longtime ally bubbling to the surface, according to the advisers who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss private conversations. Several people close to Trump — including his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, who has also been ensnared in the Russia probe — have also told the president that they believe Sessions' decision to recuse himself was a mistake.

That has only fueled Trump's obsession with the probe, which has dogged his White House since Inauguration Day. Despite his protests to the contrary, Trump continues to watch and obsess over cable news coverage and he frequently interrupts conversations about other topics to complain bitterly about the probe or, on occasion, predict that it'll soon be behind him.

1. I believe Trump frequently interrupts conversations - and always has.

He is too rude to talk about anything but himself and what he wants to talk about.
