President Trump and his advisers are floating possible replacements for Attorney General Jeff Sessions -- and the list includes Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), The Washington Post reports.

Cruz and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R) are reportedly among the candidates Trump’s team is considering to replace Sessions, though Giuliani said earlier in the day that he's not being considered.

Trump has repeatedly said that he is disappointed by Sessions’s decision to recuse himself from the probe into ties between the Trump administration and Russia, saying in an interview last week that he would have never hired Sessions if he knew he would recuse himself.

Trump also slammed Sessions in a tweet Monday morning, asking why our "beleaguered A.G." wasn’t investigating ties between Hillary Clinton and Russia.

Giuliani denied reports that he was up for Sessions’ spot earlier Monday and defended the attorney general’s decision to pull himself from the probe, saying it was “the right decision.”

Trump associates are viewing a possible Sessions ousting as a step toward firing special counsel Robert Mueller, according to The Post. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller to his post and has said he would not fire him, but a new attorney general would have the power to do so.

Trump left the option open to fire Mueller in an interview with The New York Times last week.

Cruz and Trump sparred often on the campaign trail when both were seeking the GOP nomination for president.

If there is anybody worse or just as worse than Sessions is Cruz. If not Giuliani, let's hope it's Christie.

I don't think Sessions is going to leave on his own, and if Trump fires him, it could cost him Alabama. However, if for whatever reason Sessions quits, I'd be quite scare of having Ted Cruz as Attorney General.

I don't think he has much sympathy for us..

But Cruz has previously stated that he would strip the DACA program using any means necessary, including leading a government shutdown. Valdez told the GOP candidate that she’s worried about the 2016 election’s potential consequences for her future.

And just like Sessions, he believes DACA is unconstitutional and should be ended.

I don't know, but i hope they end DACA so, that puts pressure back on congress for something permanent. Congress will not do anything until DACA is alive.

This is kind of a stupid move? Why appoint someone you've literally insulted all throughout your campaign referring them as "Lyin' Ted" and claiming that they're related to the Zodiac Killer as the new Attorney general? But still I doubt Ted will give up his seat in the Senate though and even if he did in favor of the positions as the attorney general then be wouldn't last long.

I don't trust this article, it's just pure speculations.

Cruz won't get confirmed, also, Cruz wants a spot on the supreme Court , he won't take the job.

Unless he wants to get ridiculed by Trump... I think he got enough taste of that.
