Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders, speaking with "Fox & Friends," also neither confirmed nor denied reports that Trump has discussed the possibility of firing Sessions and did not rule it out. She said she hasn't been part "of any conversations discussing any potential replacements," but made clear that Trump is "frustrated and disappointed" in the attorney general for recusing himself from the Russia meddling probe.

"That frustration certainly hasn't gone away, and I don't think it will," Sanders said.

As for whether Trump wants Sessions out, she said, "That's a decision that if the president wants to make, he certainly will."

She also addressed rumors about former federal prosecutor and ex-New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani being considered for the job. She said Giuliani is someone Trump "respects" but, "Right now, Attorney General Jeff Sessions is the attorney general."
