Jeff Sessions fires back after President Trump criticizes him in a tweet supporting Tommy Tuberville in Alabama’s Republican Senate runoff.

Trump first endorsed Tuberville on March 10 after the former coach won a narrow plurality of votes in the GOP primary. Tuberville and Sessions, the runner-up, advanced to the runoff because no candidate received a majority of the votes. The runoff has been rescheduled for July 14 because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Trump’s message was part of his retweet of a Tuberville message from last Sunday in which Tuberville said Sessions had thrown Trump “to the wolves with the Mueller appointment.” Sessions recused himself soon after being confirmed by the Senate as attorney general from what became the Russia investigation led by special counsel Robert S. Mueller III. The investigation lasted more than a year with two principal findings: There was no evidence that the Trump campaign worked with Russia officials to help him win the White House and that evidence was inconclusive that Trump had obstructed justice.

Last week, Sessions wrote an open letter to Alabama voters saying he had no choice but to recuse himself. On Friday, he responded to Trump’s tweet, saying his recusal from the investigation was required by law.Look, I know your anger, but recusal was required by law. I did my duty & you're damn fortunate I did. It protected the rule of law & resulted in your exoneration. Your personal feelings don't dictate who Alabama picks as their senator, the people of Alabama do.
