Trump Campaign Sends Insane Letter to ‘Delusional’ Jeff Sessions Demanding He Stop Using Trump’s Name
Donald Trump’s campaign is accusing former Attorney General Jeff Sessions of trying to “confuse” voters into thinking he has the president’s support amid his Alabama Senate campaign, according to a report from The New York Times.
The Trump campaign’s chief operating officer, Michael Glassner, in a letter to Sessions’ campaign this week demanded the former attorney general “immediately stop circulating mailers” such as one in which Sessions makes frequent mention of Trump’s name and calls himself a supporter of the president.
“The letter even makes the delusional assertion that you are President ‘Trump’s #1 Supporter,'” Glassner writes. “We only assume your campaign is doing this to confuse President Trump’s loyal supporters in Alabama into believing the president supports your candidacy in the upcoming primary runoff election. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
Confirmed @maggieNYT reporting w/ @wsteaks – Trump camp calls on Sessions to stop "misleadingly" tying himself to Trump & calls the effort "delusional."

As Sessions campaigns for his old Alabama Senate seat, Trump has endorsed his Republican opponent, Tommy Tuberville, last month calling Tuberville a “REAL LEADER who will never let MAGA/KAG, or our Country, down!” When Sessions didn’t win a majority in the Republican primary, Trump mocked him in a tweet saying the former attorney general didn’t “have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt.” Trump fired Sessions in 2018 and has long complained about his decision to recuse himself from investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins! https://t.co/2jGnRgOS6h

In the letter, Trump’s campaign reminds Sessions that the president and his campaign “do not support your efforts to return to the U.S. Senate.”
A spokesperson for Sessions’ campaign told the Times that the mailer in question was put together before Trump endorsed his opponent. The spokesperson also said that Sessions “is indeed one of the strongest supporters of President Trump and his agenda,” and “no one can change that.”
