Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara suggested Saturday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was the “weakest and most craven Attorney General in modern times.”

Bharara’s tweet came just hours after Sessions fired former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe. President Trump fired Bharara last year after Bharara refused to resign from his post.

Bharara was referring to former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, who served under former President George W. Bush.

Gonzalez was criticized for supporting the Bush administration’s policy on torture, and faced accusations that the Justice Department improperly eavesdropped on American citizens under his watch. He was also scrutinized over the removal of several U.S. attorneys.
