Special Edition: Sessions is Out!
President Trump fired Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Wednesday and replaced him on an interim basis with the attorney general\u2019s own chief of staff, a man named Matt Whitaker. Whitaker has made repeated public statements expressing skepticism about the Mueller investigation, which he will now be supervising. Benjamin Wittes got on a recorded\xa0conference line with Susan Hennessey, Paul Rosenzweig, Steve Vladeck, Chuck Rosenberg\xa0and Bob Bauer to discuss the day\u2019s events: the president\u2019s action, how we should understand Whitaker, and what congressional pushback we can expect, both now and when the new congress comes in.
