Sessions interviewed by Mueller team in Russia investigation
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe US Justice Department confirms that Attorney General Jeff Sessions was interviewed for hours last week in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
The interview comes as Mueller is investigating whether President Donald Trump’s actions in office, including the firing of FBI Director James Comey, constituted obstruction of justice. Mueller is also investigating contacts between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia.
Sessions is thought to be the highest-ranking Trump administration official to be interviewed by Mueller’s team.
He is seen as a potentially important witness given that Trump initially said he fired Comey last May at the recommendation of the Justice Department.
