She helped to transform U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama's public image into that of an all-American 'everywoman' who shops at retail outlets, does 'mom dancing' and even has a Twitter account. Now, former White House aide Kristina Schake, who left the East Wing in June 2013, is reportedly behind the drive to get another first lady - ex-secretary of state, Hillary Clinton - elected president. Ms Schake, 45, who has worked as chief communications officer at L'Oreal USA for the past two years, has been brought on to Mrs Clinton's 2016 communications team to help recast her image. She will attempt to turn the 67-year-old politician - who is expected to announce her run for White House this month - from a strong and knowledgeable figure into a softer, more accessible one, according to the New York Times.Kristina Schake, 45, 'is part of Mrs Clinton's 2016 communications team'She will help to transform politician into a softer, more accessible figureShe previously helped turn First Lady Michelle Obama into 'everywoman'She advised Mrs Obama to perform 'mom dancing' with Jimmy KimmelAlso masterminded infamous 2011 'undercover' shopping trip to TargetMs Schake has been working as L'Oreal's chief communications officerHer new job could prove difficult in wake of Mrs Clinton's email scandalMrs Clinton will likely announce her run for White House this month

Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump said in an interview published Wednesday that he would not have chosen Jeff Sessions to be his attorney general had he known Sessions would recuse himself over matters related to the 2016 presidential campaign. Trump's remarks, in a 50-minute interview with The New York Times, represent an extraordinary rebuke from the President toward the nation's top law enforcement official who happens to be one of his earliest political allies. "Jeff Sessions takes the job, gets into the job, recuses himself, which frankly I think is very unfair to the President," Trump said, referring to himself. "How do you take a job and then recuse yourself? If he would have recused himself before the job, I would have said, 'Thanks, Jeff, but I'm not going to take you.' It's extremely unfair -- and that's a mild word -- to the President."Trump slammed Sessions as well as the investigation into potential coordination between his associates and RussiaHe said it would be wrong for Mueller to look at his family's finances 
 Question:The dossier included a wide range of allegations, including salacious and unproven ones about _.

Donald Trump
