The New York Times has the details of another controversy in the trump versus sessions sa saga. A march 2017 battle over trumps recusal from the trump investigation. Mr. Trump had told aides that he needed a loyalist overseeing the inventory berated mr. Sessions and told him he should reverse his decision. Sessions did not.

Trump was refusing to take his calls about a pressing decision on his travel ban. When they met, mr. Trump was ready to talk, but not about the travel ban. His grievance was with mr. Sessions.
