Published April 9, 2018 11:08pm ET



President Trump slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday following the raid of the office of Michael Cohen, the president’s longtime lawyer, in another of the president’s broadside’s against his top law enforcement official.

“The attorney general made a terrible mistake when he did this and when he recused himself or he certainly should have let us know if he was going to recuse himself and we would have put a different attorney general in,” Trump told reporters Monday night ahead of a military leadership meeting at the White House. “So, he made what I consider to be a very terrible mistake for the country. But you’ll figure that out.”
