"A spokeswoman for Sessions confirmed the meetings..."

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!
