WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump lashed out at U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday, directly blaming him for allowing a probe into possible collusion between his presidential campaign and Russia to overshadow his presidency for more than a year.

Trump, who has denied any collusion, has repeatedly called out Sessions over the investigation and lamented choosing him to lead the U.S. Department of Justice, and seemed to go further in a post on Twitter on Tuesday that laid bare his motivation.
