Many conservatives and conservative leaders have been pushing for President Trump to fire Jeff Sessions, who they believe was unwilling to allow the declassification of the FISA surveillance warrants on Trump’s campaign members when Trump was a private citizen running for office.

Turning Point USA founder and president, Charlie Kirk spoke for a lot of Americans with this tweet:

With Sessions gone now can we: Investigate the Clintons for their crimes Investigate the tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch Investigate spying on after 2016 election Investigate Democrat donors funding ANTIFA

Here’s the copy of Sessions’ letter of resignation:
