Trump lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani said Friday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions could have prevented a special counsel investigation, attributing that as the reason President Trump remains upset with him.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat Jeff Sessions has done to him is stick him with a special counsel because he didn\u2019t step up and say, \u2018I can make this decision.\u2019 Stick him with a special counsel, that has now $20 million later, has come up with nothing,\u201d Mr. Giuliani said on CNN.<\/p>\n
He said there is no need for a special counsel investigation into collusion claims between the Trump campaign and Russia. Mr. Giuliani argued that Mr. Sessions\u2019 recusal triggered the need for an outside counsel in the case and damaged the Justice Department\u2019s ability to handle the investigation.<\/p>\n
