Donald Trump: “I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not have recused himself almost immediately after he took office.…”

On the recordJanuary 4, 2018
I am disappointed in the attorney general. He should not have recused himself almost immediately after he took office. And if he was going to recuse himself, he should have told me prior to taking office and I would have quite simply picked somebody else. So I think that's a bad thing, not for the president, but for the presidency. I think it's unfair to the presidency. And that's the way I feel.
