President Trump was all-in for the man he called "Big Luther" -- Alabama's Sen. Luther Strange, the Republican appointed to replace former Sen. Jeff Sessions when Sessions became Trump's attorney general.

The deleted Tweets were tracked by ProPublica, including these:Not all of the tweets about Strange disappeared.
