Sessions to recuse himself from any Trump campaign inquiries

On Friday, Trump tweeted a photo of Senator Chuck Schumer eating a donut with Vladimir Putin at a gas station and calling for an investigation into his supposed ties to Russian Federation.

Hill, a dual USA -U.K. citizen and director of the Brookings Institution’s Center on the United States and Europe, is a staunch critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Sessions announced his decision to recuse himself from “any existing or future investigations” regarding the 2016 presidential campaign” Thursday.

And at any rate, responding to serious allegations with a troll on Twitter is not the kind of response one would normally expect from the president of the United States.

Here’s how Cruz arrived at his conclusion. In my reply to the question – my reply to the question of Senator Franken was honest and correct as I understood it at the time.

Trump must have figured out his password again, or whatever, because he tweeted the old newspaper photo of Putin and Schumer enjoying coffee and donuts together.

Those conversations appear to contradict Sessions’ testimony to Congress during his confirmation hearings, as he said he had no contact with “the Russians” after Democratic Senator Al Franken asked him about reports that Trump’s campaign had contacts with the Russian government during the presidential campaign.

Andrew Kent, a professor at Fordham Law School in NY who has written extensively about the investigations into Trump and Russia, said the FBI and congressional committees are focused on different aspects of the suspected Trump-Russia connections.

But Republicans, including House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), began Thursday joining Democrats in calling for Sessions to recuse himself.

“I can tell you about Sen. It is a total ‘witch hunt!’” he added.

Sessions said he would have no involvement in any investigation related to the Trump campaign.

U.S. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi called on Sessions to resign on Wednesday after the Washington Post reported he failed to disclose two meetings he had with Russia’s ambassador before Donald Trump was inaugurated as president.

After a lengthy delay when Democrats spent weeks of exercising every procedural maneuver in the books to slow his confirmation, the Senate finally approved Sessions on February 9. “The congressional committees can look a little bit more broadly and don’t have a focus on whether specific laws were broken”.

No administration official has been accused of collusion – but questions are being asked about why top Trump officials have been evasive in explaining their meetings with Kislyak. The White House lied about that until they couldn’t anymore.

The chief of staff was expected to be with Trump during his excursion to Florida.
