Senator franken read off of the adjustments to Jeff Sessions testimony to his story since his confirmation hearing. Yeah. And Jeff Sessions today insisting to senator franken as far as hes concerned no surrogates for the Trump Campaign met with the russians. When he himself now admitted that hes one of the trump surrogate that is meat with russians in the campaign. That shrug and response from the attorney general is going to end up being important and senator franken got that out of him today, too. One of the things thats stunning to me as a student of the senate is Jeff Sessions used to be the chairman of that committee and former chairmen are treated like gods in those committees for the rest of their lives. No matter what theyre doing in that room. And this guy has had the roughest ride that any former chairmans ever had appearing before his own committee again. Well, you know, if you want to avoid that, lying to the colleagues, a, pretend its an accident and, b, say youre sorry an

This is new day with chris cuomo and allison cam rata. We begin with florida congresswoman fed reeka wilson fighting back against President Trump and john kelly right here on new day in a great interview with allison.
