Several democratic lawmakers are calling for resignation of attorney general Jeff Sessions after a new bomb shell report says the a. G. Had contact with russias ambassador on more than one occasion. It is a fast moving story developing throughout the night. 9 22 eastern time and here we were with preexisting plans to take on this topic for two hours tonight. The Washington Post is out with a headline that reads, sessions, the attorney general, spoke twice with Russian Ambassador during trumps president ial campaign, justice officials say. Now quote forgive that piece, sessions did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of president Trumps Campaign and representatives of moscow during sessions confirmation hearing to become attorney general. Here now is that moment from his confirmation hearing on january 10th. If there is any anyone affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do . Senator franken, im an wear of any aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate or two in that campaign and i did not have communications with the russians, and im unable to comment on it. And the d. O. J. Released this statement saying, there was absolutely nothing misleading about sessions answer. Last year the senator had over 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors as the Senior Member of the Armed Services committee klug the canadian, australian russian and german ambassadors. He what asked about communications between russia and the Trump Campaign, not about meetings he took as a senator. But reaction was swift against sessions as details unfolded. I know youve got al frank ep now who was on the committee saying he should recuse himself. But nancy pelosi now saying he should resign. Recuse himself and quite possibly if hes going to be the one who sets the standard for all of our u. S. Attorneys throughout the country, i dont think that thats a good place for him to be. It very clearly indicates he must now recuse himself. It is clear to me that Jeff Sessions who is my dear friend cannot make this decision about trump. So, they may be not there may be nothing there but if there is something there that the fbi believes is criminal in nature, then for sure you need a special prosecutor. And now two key dems including fire brand Elizabeth Warren has come out against sessions demanding he resign. Others saying he should at least recuse himself from the investigation. Meanwhile, a second report is rattling washington with the New York Times headline that reads, the Obama Administration rushed to preserve intelligence of Russian Election hacking. Quoting within the story, in the Obama Administrations last da, undermine thement shal election and about possible contact between associates of trump and russians across the government. The paper cited a half dozen official. American allies had provided information in cities between russian officials and trump associates. The paper also reports american intel agencies have intercepted communications between russian official. Some within the kremlin discussing contacts with trump allies. Well, that all comes as we get word the House Intel Committee is now agreed to investigate whether there was any collusion between russia and the Trump Campaign. President trump has denied his campaign had any contact with russian official. Well, today you can own your own piece of snapchat by buying it.
