Special Edition: Sessions Versus the Committee with No Bull

from The Lawfare Podcast

Attorney General Jeff Sessions faced questioning from the Senate Intelligence Committee today. He answered questions on his recusal, on his role in James Comey's firing, on his disputed conversation with the former FBI Director, and on his meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. He also declined to answer a lot of questions about his conversations with President Trump—without an assertion of executive privilege. We stripped out all the extraneous material, leaving just the questions and answers: no repetition, no senatorial speechifying. We left in every question that produced new information, and that's all we left in. It's everything you actually need from today's hearing in 90 minutes.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
