President Trump (L) shakes hands with Attorney General Jeff Sessions (R) shortly after Sessions was sworn in as attorney general. He has been a state attorney general and United States attorney, too. The Washington Post reported late Wednesday on Sessions's previously undisclosed meetings with Russia's ambassador to the United States. Although Sessions now denies talking about the campaign with the Russian ambassador, at his confirmation hearing he denied contact with the Russian government, period. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) questioned attorney general nominee Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) about news that intelligence officials briefed President-elect Trump on unconfirmed reports that Russia has compromising information on Trump.
