PRESIDENT Trump called Attorney General Jeff Sessions an “idiot” and told him to resign during a humiliatin­g Oval Office confrontat­ion, according to a report on Thursday.

Trump raked his top prosecutor over the coals during a May 17 meeting moments after finding out a special counsel had been appointed to the federal probe into possible coordinati­on between his campaign and Russia, The New York Times reported.

The President unleashed a barrage of insults and accused Sessions of “disloyalty” for recusing himself from the Russia investigat­ion, sources told The Times.

Sessions, who has yet to resign, told associates it was the most humiliatin­g experience he’s ever faced in his decades of public service.
