Trump Defends New Attorney General

President Trump defended his Attorney General against calls for his recusal in the Mueller probe. Fox News reports:

President Trump on Friday shot down calls for his new Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker to recuse himself from overseeing the Russia investigation, arguing that his public comments on the probe are not out of the ordinary for a high-ranking official.

Numerous Democratic officials have called for Whitaker’s recusal after he was tapped to replace Jeff Sessions, who was forced to resign within hours of Tuesday’s midterm elections.

Eighteen state attorneys general signed a document Thursday calling on the new AG to recuse himself from the probe, citing in part his “hostility” to the investigation given his past criticism in the media.

But speaking to reporters before taking off for Paris, Trump brushed off those concerns. He argued that high-profile lawyers comment on cable about matters of public importance all the time and if that were disqualifying, “You’d have nobody left to choose.”
