The fiery Mr. Trump is entering Washington with plans to upend the Obama establishment, increasingly determined to fight enemies he believes are attempting to delegitimize his nascent presidency. Sessions told the Senate Judiciary Committee before a daylong grilling at the hands of his Democratic colleagues on the committee. But Mr. Trump’s team has no illusions about what the president-elect is up against. That controversy only intensified after an report surfaced late Tuesday that American intelligence officials last week briefed both Mr. Trump and Mr. Obama on a memo alleging that Russia’s intelligence agencies had spied on Mr. Trump having sex during a trip to Moscow. Ms. Conway dismissed the reports of Mr. Trump’s behavior as “politically motivated.” On Tuesday night she told the NBC late night host Seth Meyers that Mr. Trump was “not aware” of the report.
