President Donald Trump has been urging the Department of Justice to reopen the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email server — and he’s taking his frustrations public.
Trump tweeted his discontent with Attorney General Jeff Sessions early Tuesday, saying —
Attorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!

The growing tensions have insiders speculating that Sessions will be replaced soon, according to newly appointed White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci.
Appearing on the “Hugh Hewitt Show”, Scaramucci discussed whether Trump was preparing to fire Sessions.
“I do know the president very well, and if there’s this level of tension in the relationship, that that’s public, then you’re probably right,” Scaramucci said, but conceded it was ultimately between the president and the attorney general to work out.
“I don’t want to speak for the president on that because he’s a Cabinet official, and I sort of think that has to be between the president of the United States and the Cabinet official.”
However, there’s no hiding that the president is upset.
“I think the president has certain style, certain skill set. He’s obviously frustrated,” Scaramucci said.
Earlier Tuesday, Trump also called on Sessions to open an investigation into the Democratic National Committee’s alleged collusion with Ukraine to rig the 2016 election —
