(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he wishes he’d never made Jeff Sessions his attorney general because the former Republican senator recused himself from the probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Trump endorsed remarks Wednesday by House Oversight Chairman Trey Gowdy about Sessions even as he ignored Gowdy’s strong dismissal of the president’s claim that the FBI planted a “spy” in his campaign. In a series of tweets on Wednesday, Trump approvingly quoted Gowdy’s television appearance criticizing Sessions for removing himself from oversight of the probe that’s now being run by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. He said Trump had many other options for the nation’s top law enforcement officer.
