Happy Friday Trump Watchers! This week I had deja vu. Paul Manafort was arraigned, again, U.S. District Judge Gonzalo Curiel is back in the news, and another White House communications director resigned. President Donald Trump also started bashing Attorney General Jeff Sessions, again. But this time, Sessions snapped back. In today's newsletter, I'll be taking a closer look at what's up with those two and why it matters. As always, send news tips, comments, complaints and jokes my way at [email protected] or on Twitter: @CoganSchneier.

Jeff Sessions had a weird week. Here's what went down:
1. Dissing judges: Sessions started it off by taking a jab at the judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Tuesday, he told an audience of state attorneys general that the judges must have ruled in favor of discrimination protections for LGBTQ employees Monday because they “read the New York Times” that morning.
