Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders says Wednesday that Trump’s broadsides are simply the president “fighting back.”
She also offers an explanation of the president’s tweet in which he said Attorney General Jeff Sessions “should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now.”
Sanders says “It’s not an order. It’s the president’s opinion.”
Trump unleashed several tweets on Wednesday attacking special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian election interference and possible ties to the president’s campaign.

..This is a terrible situation and Attorney General Jeff Sessions should stop this Rigged Witch Hunt right now, before it continues to stain our country any further. Bob Mueller is totally conflicted, and his 17 Angry Democrats that are doing his dirty work are a disgrace to USA!
