President Trump Rolls His Eyes At Jeff Sessions Resignation Question

WASHINGTON, DC — President Trump posed with interns Monday morning to thank them for their service, when a reporter asked if Attorney General Jeff Sessions should resign. Trump rolled his eyes in response.

“They’re not supposed to do that," Trump told the interns, who laughed.

Asked if he had any message to give the people about health care, which he prepared to give a speech on Monday afternoon, he said simply: "Be quiet."

The interns, who leave the White House on Aug. 11, are "a good group of talented people,” Trump said.

The question about Sessions possibly resigning comes after Trump has repeatedly disparaged the attorney general publicly. In an interview last week, Trump said he never would have appointed Sessions had he known the attorney general would recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Earlier on Monday, Trump tweeted: "So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes & Russia relations?"
