A For Abuse
FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION DIRECTOR WILliam Sessions is called "the Emperor" by the G-men who work for him. A scathing 161-page report by the Justice Department makes clear why. Sessions, the report says, "systematically abused his security detail" by dispatching it on errands or bumping it from FBI planes to make room for his wife Alice. Former Attorney General William Barr ordered Sessions to pay back taxes for using his chauffeured limousine for commuting to the office and to refund nearly $10,000 for a wooden fence installed by the agency around his house. At a 90-minute Saturday press conference, Sessions defended his record and blamed the report on "an animus, an anger, an animosity by Mr. Barr for Mr. Sessions."
