Former President Donald Trump referred to Jeff Sessions as “the first mentally r------- attorney general,” according to a new book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.
Trump was angry with Sessions over his refusal to recuse himself from the Russia investigation that haunted Trump’s first term in office and for Sessions not being aggressive enough in using the attorney general’s office to go after the ex-president’s political enemies. Trump said he should get credit for nominating Sessions, the U.S. senator from Alabama, as “the first mentally r------- attorney general,” Haberman wrote in “Confidence Man: The Making of Donald Trump and the Breaking of America,” according toAides to the former president would invoke Sessions’ name to deflect anger Trump had for them and have Trump go off on Sessions, according to Haberman’s book.resigned as attorney general at Trump’s requestHe then went on to run for his old U.S.
Haberman’s claims in the book are not the first time Trump has been alleged to have used an ableist slur to describe Sessions. In “Fear: Trump in the White House,” the book penned by ex-Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward, the former Watergate reporter claimed Trump called his attorney general “mentally r-------” and a “dumb Southerner.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
