- 6 years ago
President Trump on Wednesday suggested that Jeff Sessions should investigate former President Barack Obama.
President Trump on Wednesday seemed to suggest that Attorney General Jeff Sessions should investigate former President Obama for Russia's meddling in the 2016 election.
"Question: If all of the Russian meddling took place during the Obama Administration, right up to January 20th, why aren't they the subject of the investigation? Why didn't Obama do something about the meddling? Why aren't Dem crimes under investigation? Ask Jeff Sessions!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
The tweet follows several others Trump has posted on the topic this week.
"Obama was President up to, and beyond, the 2016 Election. So why didn't he do something about Russian meddling?" Trump tweeted on Monday.
And on Tuesday, Trump slammed the Obama administration for its "failures."
"Thank you to @foxandfriends for the great timeline on all of the failures the Obama Administration had against Russia, including Crimea, Syria and so much more. We are now starting to win again!" Trump tweeted.
The White House has also asserted that Trump has been "far tougher" on Russia than Obama.
"There are a number of places that Obama was too weak and refused to take and put pressure on Russia, where this President has," press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders told reporters on Tuesday.
