A spokeswoman for Sessions confirmed that the meetings took place, but provided a statement from the attorney general saying they were not related to the election campaign.
I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign, Sessions statement said. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.

Seriously, the way Ruskie ambassadors/officials mysteriously die when they are named in these controversies, this guy should be worried for his well being!

(8,656 posts)15. Russians don't do tea and biscuits sessions with US Senators
and certainly not high level russian spy recruiters.........So why would Sessions be doing that, certainly not for compliments.....
You just dont do this sort of thing.....its a high level of stupidity to think he thought he could get away with this.
