Jeff Sessions, mocked then fired by President Trump, returns to Justice Department for applause and a Cabinet chair
The Justice Department paused on Thursday to applaud former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who returned to plaudits four months after he was abruptly ousted by President Donald Trump, who disparaged him while he was in office and has kept at it since. As recently as Wednesday, Trump lashed out at his former attorney general for recusing himself – as the agency's rules require – from overseeing its investigation into Russian interference in the election that put Trump in office.

Sessions, whose tenure largely featured a rollback of Obama administration policies, believed that local police had often been unduly blamed for aggressive enforcement tactics.
