Apparently too many in the White House have been enamored by Hope Hicks, including Lewandowski.
And many have questioned if Sessions was up for the task after Rosenstein deceptively coerced him to recuse himself.

A prosecutor is supposed to recuse himself from a case where he has a conflict of interest. Sessions recused himself because he lied during his Senate confirmation hearing by saying under oath that he did not have contacts with Russians during the campaign. He obviously has no credibility on the Russian collusion issue let alone anything else. Trump called him "Mr. Magoo".
Of course that's consistent with Trump's pattern of undermining trust in anyone or anything but himself. He attacked Republican lawmakers yesterday for being under control of the NRA and boasted that he isn't. But then, another pattern of his is to make all kinds of statements when he is negotiating and then reneging when time comes for a decision.
