Under fire, Sessions says he’s willing to recuse himself from Russia probe if ‘appropriate’
Attorney General Jeff Sessions says that he is willing to recuse himself “whenever it’s appropriate” amid growing bipartisan calls for him to do so. “I have said whenever it’s appropriate, I will recuse myself,” Sessions told an NBC News reporter early Thursday morning. During a tour of the U.S.S. Gerald Ford Thursday afternoon, President Trump expressed support for his embattled attorney general, saying he had “total” confidence in Sessions.
