Jeff Sessions has resigned as attorney general of the United States after President Donald Trump requested his resignation.
In a tweet this afternoon, Trump announced that Sessions would be replaced, at least for the time being, by his chief of staff, Matthew G. Whitaker. In another tweet, Trump thanked Sessions “for his service” and said “a permanent replacement will be nominated at a later date.”
