President Trump has floated the possibility of replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with his steadfast ally Rudy Giuliani to serve in the top Justice Department post, Axios reported Monday.
Trump broached the idea in internal discussions about bringing in and surrounding himself with staunch supporters, sources within the West Wing told the news outlet.
Before The New York Times interview last week, Trump had already expressed anger and frustration at Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, Axios reports.
Trump, during the interview, opined that Sessions' decision to recuse himself was "unfair" to him and he would've likely picked another person to lead the Justice Department if he had known this is the move Sessions would make.
In a tweet on Monday, Trump went after Sessions, calling him “beleaguered” and questioned why the attorney general and federal investigators are not looking into Hillary Clinton for her “crimes” and ties to Russia.

Yes!
I just wet myself a little bit...
THAT would be a Dream Come True! Go, Trump! GO!
RUUUDYYY!!!!
No. Giuliani is an amnesty supporter.
Oh yeah!
Rudy would be a great choice. Who cares if the Dems fight him. It does look to be too late. wasted 7 months of Sessions doing nothing.
He should have appointed Rudy on day one. He would not be in this mess.
> replacing Attorney General Jeff Sessions with his steadfast ally Rudy Giuliani <
Wait...wasn’t Sessions also a “steadfast ally”? Having said that, I wish Trump would have picked Giuliani in the first place.
Beleaguered underestimates the deep stuff Sessions is in up to his elbows.
One would think Trump could just tell Sessions to start investigating Hillary instead of tweeting about it.
Anyone who is ready to fight the Left and the Washington Deep State.
I will admit I admire one thing about the Obama administration - his DOJ people were committed to his cause, and worked towards achieving his vision. The idea of recusing oneself for ANYTHING would never have occurred to Holder or Lynch. Of course, they had the cover of nearly the entire Federal Government and the media, so they could get away with a lot of criminality.
Rudy couldnt possibly be more ineffective and useless than Sleepin Jeff, we need an aggressive AG to go after the obama clinto scandals nd start throwing these corrupt democrats in jail.
That would be winning for sure !!
Giuliani is about 20 years past his prime. If he’s appointed now, it will be for all the wrong reasons.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET IT BE SO!!!! Rudy absolutely detests Hillary and has been frothing at the mouth for years, decades, to see justice is handed to her fat cankle supported ass! Oh maaaan, I hope this happens!
It’s kill or be killed time. Rudy knows how to play that game.
> No. Giuliani is an amnesty supporter. <
You’ve got a point there. Giuliani has been all over the map on this issue.
You’re exactly right. The stupid Republicans fight like wimps.
Immigration enforcement will tank under Giuliani. And getting him confirmed will be a circus given his business dealings and other issues.
