Sessions, eager to return to Trump’s good graces, seemed to tacitly agree with his boss’ criticisms of the Justice Department. ——Follow Lemire on Twitter at http://twitter.com///twitter.com/@ZekeJMiller——This story has been corrected to reflect that the last name of the White House counsel is McGahn, not McGhan.
