Sessions is not there to do Trump's bidding, says Dem rep

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) said on Thursday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions is not in his post to do President Trump's bidding and that he should remain in his job as long as justice is being carried out.

"I think that the attorney general is not there to do the bidding of the president in any private way. He's not there to protect the president. He is there to assure that justice is done, and as long as he's doing that, I think he merits staying in office," Green told Hill.TV's Buck Sexton and Krystal Ball on "Rising."

"I'll leave it to the president as to whether he wants to be so bold as to fire an attorney general after having fired Mr. Comey for Mr. Comey's investigating his campaign's involvement with Russians and the election," he continued, referring to former FBI director James Comey.

The Texas congressman's comments come after Trump blasted Sessions in an interview with Hill.TV this week, saying that he did not have an attorney general.

“I don’t have an attorney general. It’s very sad,” Trump said. “I’m not happy at the border, I’m not happy with numerous things, not just this."

Green responded to Trump's comments in a tweet, saying Sessions "works for the people, not for you."
