Trump campaign demands Sessions stop ‘misleadingly’ tying himself to Trump amid Senate bid

In a letter sent to the Sessions campaign obtained by ABC News, Trump campaign chief operating officer Michael Glassner called out the former attorney general over a campaign mailer that mentioned “President Trump by name 22 times,” demanding his campaign stop “misleadingly [promoting] your connections to and ‘support’ of President Trump.”

However, the Sessions campaign claims the mailer the Trump campaign is taking issue with went out March 6, days before the president endorsed Tuberville on March 10.

In March Trump dropped the hammer on Sessions, who’d been lavishing praise over the president during his Alabama senate bid, tweeting “This is what happens to someone who loyally gets appointed Attorney General of the United States & then doesn’t have the wisdom or courage to stare down & end the phony Russia Witch Hunt. Recuses himself on FIRST DAY in office, and the Mueller Scam begins!”
