A top ally of President Trump in the Senate said that it is “very likely” the president fires Attorney General Jeff Sessions after this year’s midterm elections.

“I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told Bloomberg News on Thursday. “Clearly, Attorney General Sessions doesn’t have the confidence of the president.”
