What was the time frame behind the NYT piece on Trump's unrecusal pressure?

Jeff Sessions recuses himself March 2, 2017.

When was the Sessions' trip to Mar-a-Lago when Trump tried to persuade him to reverse his recusal ?

All NYT says is that it was one Saturday in March. (Or did I miss something?)

Was that early March or late March?

Does that matter?

Well, it would tell us how long Trump had been fuming about this. If it was early March, many might say he was still smarting from the recusal and was acting on impulse. If it was late March indicates something else.

I'm sure Mueller knows the time frame and has assessed the implications.

According to press reports, they had converged on the ocean-to-lake compound, which Trump calls his “southern White House,” to hash out the fallout from continued revelations about Trump campaign officials meeting with Russian officials, including Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions reportedly earned the ire of Trump when he decided to recuse himself from the Trump-Russia investigation after it was revealed Sessions failed to disclose during his Senate confirmation hearings that he had twice spoken to Russian officials. Press reports say he was ordered down to Palm Beach at the last moment to go over the burgeoning crisis.
