We were aware of facts i cant discuss in an open setting that would make his continued engagement in a russiarelated investigation problematic. Reporter will the white house invoke executive privilege . It depends on the scope of the questions and to get into a hypothetical at this point would be premature. Reporter sessions likely to face questions about failure to disclose two meetings and the possibility of a third that aides vigorously denied. When sessions failed to disclose these meetings with the russians, was it an honest mistake or was it part of a reporter unfazed at his first full Cabinet Meeting the president touting this claim.
