Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned Wednesday. Sessions has been under pressure by President Donald Trump to resign since he recused himself from a special counsel investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Robert Mueller has revealed the wrongdoings of some of Trump’s once closest aides and been called a “witch hunt” by the president. VOA’s Zlatica Hoke reports Trump has appointed an acting attorney general who is also critical of the investigation.
