\nWASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 The Latest on President Donald Trump and the probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election (all times local):
4:20 p.m.
President Donald Trump\u2019s 2020 campaign manager is calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to be dismissed.
Brad Parscale tweeted Tuesday that it was \u201ctime to fire Sessions.\u201d The attorney general has become a flashpoint amid harrowing images of migrant children being separated from their parents at the southern border.
But Parscale\u2019s focus appeared to be on Sessions\u2019 role with special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s ongoing investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
The campaign manager tweeted that it was time to \u201cend the Mueller investigation.\u201d
Parscale, who led the campaign\u2019s digital efforts in 2016, called the probe \u201cphony.\u201d He also claimed a recent Justice Department watchdog report cleared Trump, which it does not.
Sessions recused himself from the probe last year, a decision that incurred Trump\u2019s wrath.

House Republicans are escalating their monthslong standoff with the Justice Department, saying the FBI hasn\u2019t adequately addressed bias within the agency and threatening to hold top department officials in contempt \u2014 or even impeach them.
The stepped-up criticism comes after the department\u2019s internal watchdog released a report last week that criticized the FBI\u2019s handling of the 2016 probe into Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails but said political bias didn\u2019t affect the outcome of the investigation that eventually cleared her.
Bolstered by President Donald Trump, some Republicans say there\u2019s no way that bias against then-candidate Trump found among some employees didn\u2019t taint the Clinton probe \u2014 and by extension special counsel Robert Mueller\u2019s investigation into Trump\u2019s Republican campaign and Russia.<\/p>\n
