151 Congressional Democrats call on Attorney General to resign
A bipartisan array of members of Congress have called for Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from the investigation into contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian government officials, following revelations on Wednesday that the Attorney General falsely claimed under oath in his confirmation hearings that he had not met with Russian representatives. Sessions has now admitted to having had two conversations with the Russian ambassador.
But a growing number of lawmakers — so far all Democrats — have also called on Sessions to resign from his office, less than one month after he was sworn-in, over the apparent perjury (some with the caveat that they should resign if the allegations are true). Among them are the House and Senate Democratic leaders.
They include:
Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY)
