The FBI did not inform the Senate Judiciary Committee about its investigation into Attorney General Jeff Sessions' contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 election, a spokesman for a Republican member of the committee said Thursday.
"We learned of it last night," the spokesman for Sen. Mike Lee said in an email, referring to an investigation first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The Journal reported Wednesday that the FBI opened an inquiry into contacts Sessions may have had with Russian officials in the spring and summer of last year. It was part of a wide-ranging investigation into possible contacts between Trump associates and Russian operatives. It is unclear whether Sessions' contact is still being examined.
Lee's spokesman said the FBI had not yet offered an explanation for why it did not inform the Judiciary Committee about the investigation before Sessions' January confirmation hearing. The person said the senator learned of the investigation through news reports Wednesday evening.

Gosh....I wonder why Comey didn't send letters to Chaffetz and Gowdy indicating that Sessions had met with the Russians, and was looking into it, but had no idea whether there was anything to it or not.
