US Attorney General Jeff Sessions found himself in an increasingly untenable position on Tuesday, as President Donald Trump once again skewered him on Twitter, calling his onetime ally "VERY weak."

Trump has openly criticised Sessions for recusing himself from overseeing a federal probe into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia to meddle in the 2016 US presidential elections.
