Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the deputy White House press secretary, suggested Sunday that Attorney General Jeff Sessions does not need to recuse himself from investigating Russias role in the election, at least at this point.
I don't think we're there yet, Sanders told ABCs George Stephanopoulos on This Week.
She clarified a few minutes later: I wasn't saying that he shouldn't recuse himself or that he should. My point is I don't think we're there yet. Let's work through this process.

Let's not go to the very end of the extreme. Let's let this play out the way it should.
Democrats are trying to pressure Sessions, an adviser to President Donald Trumps campaign and one of his first prominent backers, to recuse himself from any investigation into Russias attempts to meddle in the presidential election because of his ties to the campaign.
Though the White House has pushed back on the reports, news outlets have reported that the FBI found evidence that Trump campaign aides were in contact with the Russian government before the election. ..............................................................
