Trump goes off-script and fumes about Sessions and Russia probe

Trump goes off-script and fumes about Sessions and Russia probe

The president has grown obsessed with the Russia investigation, now overseen by special counsel Robert Mueller, and has been furious at Sessions since his decision in March to recuse himself.
