'The Democrat establishment came together and crushed Bernie Sanders, AGAIN!' Trump tweeted early Wednesday.
President Donald Trump weighed in on Super Tuesday results Wednesday morning, focusing mainly on his claim that the Democrats are plotting to deny the nomination to his favored candidate, Bernie Sanders.
At the very least, the Trump campaign would like to divide the Democrats – and depress voter turnout – by telling Sanders supporters their man is being cheated by the party establishment. That's the same claim they made in 2016 when Sanders lost to Hillary Clinton, and there is evidence that some Sanders backers stayed home or even voted for Trump that November.
A frequent target of the president, the former attorney general didn't win enough votes Tuesday to become the GOP nominee outright. He now faces a run-off election against Tuberville, the former head football coach at Auburn University. Trump blames Sessions for not stopping a special counsel investigation of Russian election interference in 2016 and as a result has frequently criticized his former attorney general.
The Justice Department itself initially investigated the Russia allegations, but officials decided to appoint a special counsel after Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey in May of 2017. Shaub added that Trump is"still furious that Sessions recused when he had a conflict of interest," but he is also"talking to his current appointees" still in the administration."Bow down to the one you serve," he wrote.
