<p>President Trump took a shot at Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Monday, describing him as "beleaguered" in a tweet about the Russia investigation.</p> 
<p>"After 1 year of investigation with Zero evidence being found, Chuck Schumer just stated that "Democrats should blame ourselves,not Russia," Trump tweeted.</p> 
<p>"So why aren't the Committees and investigators, and of course our beleaguered A.G., looking into Crooked Hillarys crimes &amp;amp; Russia relations?" read his follow-up tweet.</p> 
<p>Trump disclosed in a <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/19/us/politics/trump-interview-sessions-russia.html?_r=0" type="external">New York Times interview</a> on Wednesday that he would not have hired Sessions if he had known that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia probe.</p> 
<p>"Should have never recused himself and if he was going to recuse himself he should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else," Trump said.</p> 
<p>The president's comments prompted speculation that Sessions would resign from his post.</p> 
<p>However, a day after the interview was published, Sessions said he plans on continuing in the role.</p> 
<p>"I&#8217;m totally confident that we can continue to run this office in an effective way," Sessions said.</p>
