Attorney General Jeff Sessions is featured on the cover of TIME magazine.
In the TIME interview, he defends his decision to recuse himself from the Russia Interference Investigation. To me, that decision is a "well, duh". It requires no explanation or defending to anyone who's been following the story, with the exception of President Trump.

Senator Sessions was Trump's first political endorser. He campaigned for Trump and denied meeting with Russian officials during that time (which was proven to be false, therefore essentially forcing him to recuse himself due to obvious conflicts of interest).
President Trump, who is looking for personal loyalty above factual objectivity from the Justice Department, has been disparaging Sessions ever since his recusal. Sessions is a career politician, however, and doesn't seem to be one of the many Trump-appointees who is willing to sigh with relief and ride off into the sunset to appease the Commander-N-Chief. He's playing the player and has a better public hand, in my opinion.
Today, Attorney General Sessions announced his decision to deny the request from Trump and company to appoint an independent investigator to investigate the FBI's participation in the existing independent investigation led by Robert Mueller. Sessions instead affirmed his decision that an internal department investigation, along with an investigation by the Inspector General, is appropriate and sufficient.
Stay tuned.
