Sessions Says He'll Recuse Himself on Russia Probe If Needed..

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said for the first time that he’ll recuse himself if necessary from investigations into contacts that associates of President Donald Trump may have had with Russian government officials.

“I would recuse myself on anything that I should recuse myself on,” Sessions told reporters Monday at the Justice Department in Washington. “That’s all I can tell you.”
