Trump Refers To Jeff Sessions As ‘Mr. Magoo’

President Donald Trump’s rebukes of Attorney General Jeff Sessions have included referring to him behind the scenes as “Mr. Magoo,” The Washington Post reported Wednesday evening.

Trump on Wednesday lashed out again at Sessions on Twitter for his oversight of the Justice Department.

The tweet prompted a rare response from Sessions, who in a statement defended his leadership of the department and its work.

Trump has made his disagreement with Sessions known clearly in the past, pointedly referring to the attorney general as “beleaguered” last year and saying he would not have chosen Sessions to lead the Justice Department had he known the former senator would recuse himself from oversight of the Russia investigation.

Sessions has stood by his decision and continued to offer no public signal that he intends to step down in face of the criticism, despite an apparent offer to resign after Trump berated him and called him an “idiot” last year, according to The New York Times.
