Jeff Sessions had been a four-term U.S. senator, had served as the top Republican on important committees and had a strong following among hardcore conservatives. Then he went to work for the Trump administration. Now he is publicly ridiculed and mocked — by President Trump.
In his latest tweet disparaging his own attorney general, Trump last week called Sessions’ conduct at Justice “DISGRACEFUL!” and he has privately referred to Sessions as “Mr. Magoo.”
Then he went to work for the Trump administration as secretary of housing and urban development.
