Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions lied when he said he had no contacts with Russia officials during the 2016 presidential election.
“Give me a break!” Elijah Cummings said with the news that Jeff Sessions met with members of the ethics committee for directions on what his next move should be. Just 24hrs prior, news broke that Sessions did in fact meet with Russian officials during Trump’s campaign and hours after that news broke, Sessions recused himself from future investigations into the Trump/Russia involvement.
“Suddenly, now he says because he’s talked to the ethics people that he is going to recuse himself. They say they told him to do it because he was involved in the campaign. Give me a break! He is the number one law enforcement officer in the country. He has been a U.S Attorney for the state of Alabama, and as an attorney, he knows, and I know that there are certain things that you don’t to the ethics people about.”
