This makes it look better when he changes his mind after “new evidence” emerges.

Jeff Sessions: 'Not enough basis' for special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton | US news | The Guardian

'Sessions said appointing a separate special counsel to investigate Clinton would require “a factual basis”. '

'Jeff Sessions on Tuesday said there was “not enough basis” to appoint a special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton, a day after reports surfaced that the attorney general had authorized senior prosecutors at the Department of Justice to evaluate an inquiry into the Clinton Foundation. '

'The renewed scrutiny over Clinton comes as the federal investigation into Russian interference in the US election has intensified. '

'That would be wrong,” Sessions said when asked about Trump’s tweets calling on the DoJ to investigate his former rival in the 2016 presidential race.“The president speaks his mind. '

'The deal, which was approved by the state department when Clinton was at its helm, has been newly seized upon by Trump and Republicans despite no evidence of impropriety. '

This has been an automated message.
