Trump said that morning that he was approached by a Democratic Senator who told him they really liked Jeff Sessions, but wouldn’t vote for him because of politics:

Trump says he thought what the Senator said was a disgrace and threatened to rat out the Senator to the press.
I suspect the press doesn’t really care, but might be curious enough to probe him about it. But I doubt they’ll turn this into a circus just to find out.
