Rep. Mark Walker: Jeff Sessions Should Prepare to Exit

Rep. Mark Walker: Jeff Sessions Should Prepare to Exit

Rep. Mark Walker, R-N.C. says it is probably time for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to go.

Walker’s remarks came during a Friday interview on Fox News show "America’s Newsroom."

"Well, I believe that it probably is time for Jeff to maybe transition," he said. "I hope that's his decision. I hope it doesn't come down to a firing. Jeff's a good person. But if you are working for the commander in chief or any boss and the relationship has frayed as it is to this point, I believe the right thing to do is to have a transition and to bring in someone -- not an attorney general who is just a rubber stamp -- but someone who does have the same philosophical approach on being aggressive "

He noted Sessions "has a great record and is well-spoken of throughout the halls of Washington, D.C."

But Walker said someone a little more aggressive is needed in the post.

"The president is entitled to have the cabinet he chooses," Walker said.

Walker’s comments came after Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had said earlier: "The president’s entitled to an attorney general he has faith in, somebody that’s qualified for the job, and I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and a fresh voice at the Department of Justice."

Trump, in an interview on Fox News, was highly critical of Sessions and questioned the attorney general’s loyalty.
