Gen. Jeff Sessions’ meeting with Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergey Kislyak twice last year caused a firestorm in Washington on Thursday, prompting Democratic demands for his resignation. Sessions endorsed Trump more than a year ago, becoming the first senator to do so. Sessions’ former Senate aide, 31-year-old Stephen Miller, serves as Trump’s senior policy advisor. “I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign,” Sessions said Thursday. Sessions said the September meeting covered a range of topics and that he did not remember all of them.
