Fire Jeff Sessions? Trump's Campaign Manager Says It's 'Time' After DOJ IG Report

President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign manager claimed Tuesday it was "time" for the commander-in-chief to fire Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and said the special counsel's investigation of Russia's meddling in the 2016 election should end, citing the scathing Justice Department Inspector General's report on the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton private email server investigation.

Brad Parscale, known for oft-incendiary comments and strong support for Trump on Twitter, claimed the IG report released last week gave Trump "the truth to end it all" and claimed the Mueller was investigation was "phony" and therefore incapable of being obstructed.

"Time to fire Sessions, End the Mueller investigation, You can't obstruct something that was phony against you, The IG report gives @realDonaldTrump the truth to end it all," Parscale tweeted.

Parscale's public cry to fire Sessions, who Trump has repeatedly and publicly blasted for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, followed the president's pointing to the IG report as proof top FBI and Justice Department officials were biased against his campaign in favor of Clinton's.

The Justice Department declined to comment.

Parscale, who previously headed up Trump's digital team for the 2016 campaign, last week derided CNN reporter Jim Acosta for shouting questions during the president's summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un and said Acosta's press credentials should be suspended.

Earlier this month, Trump again stated he would never have tapped Sessions to be the nation's top law enforcement officer if he knew the former Alabama senator would step away from the Russia probe.

"The Russian Witch Hunt Hoax continues, all because Jeff Sessions didn't tell me he was going to recuse himself...I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined...and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion! " Trump tweeted June 5.

Some top Republicans, like U.S. Senator Lindsay Graham of South Carolina, have warned Trump for nearly a year against dismissing either Special Counsel Robert Mueller or Sessions. In July, Graham claimed the president would have "holy hell to pay" if Sessions were dismissed, and in March Graham stated firing Mueller would be the "beginning of the end of [Trump's] presidency."

Several reports have indicated a tense relationship between Trump and Sessions, who was one of the first major GOP lawmakers to endorse and work with the president's campaign. The attorney general reportedly threatened to resign in April should Trump fire Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, according to The Washington Post.

Trump was reportedly angered by the FBI's raid of the office, residence, and hotel room of his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen, in April. Sessions reached out to White House counsel Don McGahn to find out information about a meeting Rosenstein, who is now heading up the Russia probe and would sign-off on any charges, and Trump held on April 12. Sessions reportedly learned the meeting was not contentious, but told McGahn of the possibility of his resignation if the president had dismissed Rosenstein.
