Jeff Sessions has no plans to resign despite Trump rebuke

Mr Sessions said he will stay in office "as long as that is appropriate".

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he has no immediate plans to resign a day after President Donald Trump excoriated the nation's top prosecutor for recusing himself from the probe of suspected Russian meddling in the 2016 campaign.

"We love this job, we love this department and I plan to continue to do so as long as that is appropriate," he said.
