U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday pushed back against President Trump’s remarks to Fox News that he is not in control of the U.S. Justice Department and should have recused from overseeing the special counsel’s Russia investigation.

Trump castigated his attorney general—a repeated thing these days—in the Fox interview, saying: “I put in an attorney general who never took control of the Justice Department. Jeff Sessions, never took control of the Justice Department. It’s sort of an incredible thing.” He added: “What kind of man is this?”
