WASHINGTON Democrats escalated their demands late Wednesday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuse himself from overseeing an investigation into contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russian government after a disclosure that Mr. Sessions himself spoke with the Russian ambassador last year, seemingly contradicting his testimony at his confirmation hearing.
And some Democrats went further, suggesting that Mr. Sessions had perjured himself and demanding that he resign.
Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign, said Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the House Democratic leader. There must be an independent, bipartisan, outside commission to investigate the Trump political, personal and financial connections to the Russians.
But the Trump administration rejected the accusations as partisan attacks, and Mr. Sessions said in a statement issued shortly before midnight that he had not addressed election matters with the ambassador, Sergey I. Kislyak.
