Donald Trump: Attacks on Jeff Sessions not winning President any support in Washington

Almost daily, Donald Trump breaks the mould of how a president should behave but his attacks on Attorney-General Jeff Sessions show he still has the power to shock, writes Ben Knight.

But Tuesday in Washington showed he still has the power to shock.

For the third day in a row, the President ramped up a series of public attacks on one of his most loyal supporters, Attorney-General Jeff Sessions.

In Mr Trump’s latest tirade on Tuesday, he called Sessions “very weak” for not launching a prosecution against former Democratic rival Hillary Clinton over her use of a private email server — during the election campaign, Mr Trump often led his crowds in chants of “lock her up”.
