Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) came to President Donald Trumps defense on Thursday.

In an interview in theNew York TimesWednesday, Trump told the paper he would not have hired Jeff Sessions as attorney general if he knew that Sessions would ultimately recuse himself from the Department of Justices Russia investigation.

You know, I think the President has a point, because the thing here isif everybody is going to recuse themselves just for incidental contact, I think you dont get really good governance, Paulsaid in an interview on Fox and Friends, the Presidents favored morning news show. I believe that Jeff Sessions contact with the Russians was incidental. In the usual duties of being in Senate, and it being incidental, he should have stayed in the fray and been more supportive of the President.

Paulwent on to rail against Sessions for his actions enforcing asset forfeiture policy, which he says gives the attorney general the power to disproportionately take property from minority and low-income people.

I think we shouldnt take peoples property without conviction. This is something I believe very strongly in, and Im disappointed that Sessions is going after a lot of poor minorities to take their property without due process, he said.
