WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump’s presidential campaign told Senate Republican candidate Jeff Sessions on Thursday to stop promoting himself as a Trump ally, lashing out at the former U.S. attorney general, whom the president soured on.
“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 run-off election. Nothing could be further from the truth,” Trump re-election campaign chief operating officer Michael Glassner said in a letter to Sessions, a U.S. senator from Alabama before he became attorney general.
Sessions was an early and loyal supporter of Trump but drew his fury when he recused himself from an investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 White House campaign. Trump forced him from his job as U.S. attorney general in November 2018.
Sessions has been trying to return to the U.S. Senate. He and former Auburn University football coach Tommy Tuberville finished neck and neck in early March in a Republican primary race and are to face off in a runoff election.
Trump has already endorsed Tuberville and has made clear he wants nothing further to do with Sessions.
The Trump campaign took issue with a direct mail item in which Sessions states his support for Trump. “The letter even makes the delusional assertion that you are President “Trump’s #1 Supporter,” said Glassner. “President Trump and his campaign do not support your efforts to return to the U.S. Senate. We demand that you and your campaign immediately stop circulating mailers - or any other similar communication - that wrongly suggest otherwise,” he said.

Recused. lulz
I once showed a photo of Jeff Sessions to a friend who was largely apolitical and unfamiliar with the main players, and she said without hesitation “he looks weak”.
Shut yer mouth, Jeff.
He let Trump and the country down.
Sessions was a Trump ally in the same manner with which Brutus was to Julius Caesar.
Absolutely.
But, but, but...
“Jefferson Beauregard Sessions for VP !!!” - Many on FR circa 2016.
With friends like that...
“Trust Sessions”
We remember those nut cases here who kept reposting that nonsense.
Sessions is a weak man for most any serious position. He’s happiest when he hands work off to partisan hacks and can sit back and sleep for a couple years, with absolutely no responsibilities.
He can’t even shut down problems he starts.
Sessions should just be sent to a nursing home—not even to pasture.
He did more than anyone else to reduce the effectiveness of Trump’s first 4 years down to maybe 45% of what it could have been.
Sessions betrayal hurt the Trump presidency badly. He had no balls. The bagpiper is barely an improvement.
The problem we are facing is that the AG, the DOJ, and that minor bureau the FBI, now all believe they are fully independent of the executive branch and that they stand in superiority to the presidency.
They are still posting nonsense.
This *should* put all of that to rest, at last.
He’s a backstabbing scumbag.
Sessions put the nation into a two+ year long nightmare
Beat me to it, yep, still posting that crap.
Don’t hold your breath Jane, they’re true believers.
Alabama voters.....
Please pay attention!
Jeff must not win, at any cost.
Get it done.
