Former President Donald Trump referred to Jeff Sessions as “the first mentally r------- attorney general,” according to a new book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman.
Trump was angry with Sessions over his refusal to recuse himself from the Russia investigation that haunted Trump’s first term in office and for Sessions not being aggressive enough in using the attorney general’s office to go after the ex-president’s political enemies.

Haberman’s claims in the book are not the first time Trump has been alleged to have used an ableist slur to describe Sessions.
