The following article was posted on the Axios.com website August 11, 2018:
President Trump on Saturday blasted Attorney General Jeff Sessions for being “scared stiff and Missing in Action” in a tweet series questioning if there will be an Inspector General report about the Steele dossier, Steele’s meetings with former Deputy Attorney General, Bruce Ohr and Ohr’s wife, Nellie Ohr.

….Do you believe Nelly worked for Fusion and her husband STILL WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF “JUSTICE.” I have never seen anything so Rigged in my life. Our A.G. is scared stiff and Missing in Action. It is all starting to be revealed – not pretty. IG Report soon? Witch Hunt!
Behind the scenes: Sessions doesn’t use Twitter and has no TV in his office. Sources who work for him tell Axios’ Jonathan Swan he tries as best he can to tune out Trump’s attacks. They seemed to genuinely bother him at first but over time aides said it appeared he’d grown desensitized to them. If Sessions has thought again about resigning — early on he wrote a resignation letter for Trump and it was rejected — he’s kept very close-lipped about it.
