After months and months and months of bitching and grousing about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the unindicted coconspirator has forced him out.
Mr. Sessions’s resignation, made at the president’s request, was being delivered to John Kelly, Mr. Trump’s chief of staff. It came just a day after midterm elections in which Democrats captured control of the House, but Republican success in holding onto the Senate and building their slim majority may make it easier for the president to confirm a successor.
“Dear Mr. President, at your request I am submitting my resignation,” Mr. Sessions said in his letter.
The full letter from Sessions is below the fold. Trump tweeted that “Matthew G. Whitaker, Chief of Staff to Attorney General Jeff Sessions at the Department of Justice, will become our new Acting Attorney General of the United States” and that he “wishes [Sessions] well.”
He’s a liar.
