THE PRESIDENT: I just told them, “I’ve got to come over and see the fake news.” Let’s go. What do you have, John?
....
Q Mr. President, will you endorse Jeff Sessions in his Alabama Senate run?
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I haven’t gotten involved. I saw he said very nice things about me last night, but we’ll have to see. I’ll have to see.
