Fired by Trump as AG, Jeff Sessions says "I still do support him"

Amid the whipping of praise for the GOP, though, Sessions couldn’t resist a chuckle about his removal as attorney general.

“And then be able to have the honor and challenge of serving as your attorney general of the United States of America, it was really a tremendous thing for me,” Sessions said. “I am so proud of the work we were able to do in so many different areas.

“But there was one problem as attorney general, that’s for sure as you well know. I like to say a lot of people get fired from their work but mine was a little more public than most. You do the best you can. At least they don’t shoot you when they fire you.”
