President Donald Trump slammed Jeff Sessions again on Tuesday and said if the U.S. had a “real attorney general” the Russia investigation would never have started.

Trump’s comments came in a pair of tweets after watching Fox News' “Fox & Friends.”

On the show, Fox News’ Gregg Jarrett was interviewed about his best-selling book about the investigation into Russia and the president.

Jarrett said of the investigation: “It’s really a narrative on how pervasive bias drove them to clear Hillary Clinton and go after Donald Trump to frame him for things he did not do.”

Trump tweeted: “Bruce Ohr of the ‘Justice’ Department (can you believe he is still there) is accused of helping disgraced Christopher Steele “find dirt on Trump. Ohr’s wife, Nelly, was in on the act big time - worked for Fusion GPS on fake dossier.”

He referred to former British spy Steele, who wrote a dossier alleging the Trump campaign conspired with Russia during the 2016 election

“’They were all in on it, clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump for things he didn’t do,’” Trump said attributing the quote to Jarrett on “Fox & Friends.”

And the president added: “If we had a real attorney general, this witch hunt would never have been started! Looking at the wrong people.”

The tweets were similar to ones he posted Saturday:

“The big story that the Fake News Media refuses to report is lowlife Christopher Steele’s many meetings with Deputy A.G. Bruce Ohr and his beautiful wife, Nelly,” he wrote.
