Sessions tells Senate he won’t divulge ‘confidential’ talks with Trump
US Attorney General Jeff Sessions tells senators he won’t discuss “confidential” conversations he had with President Donald Trump.
Sessions tells members of the Senate Judiciary Committee during an opening statement of his oversight hearing Wednesday that the president is entitled to have private conversations with cabinet secretaries.
Members of the committee have told Sessions that they intend to press him on his conversations with Trump, particularly about the firing in May of FBI Director James Comey.
At a separate hearing in June, Sessions told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he would not disclose his communications with Trump.
