WASHINGTON, D.C.: President Donald Trump blasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions Wednesday (Thursday in Manila), labeling the country’s top law enforcement official “disgraceful” over his handling of White House allegations of illegal wiretapping. “Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the Inspector General to investigate potentially massive FISA abuse,” Trump asked in a tweet. Last week Trump took aim at the attorney general over the direction of that probe. Ask Jeff Sessions!” Trump wrote. Because he was part of the campaign, Sessions recused himself in March 2017 from overseeing the probe, infuriating Trump.
