Jeff Sessions kävi taas virkistämässä muistiaan kongressin komitean edessä. Sessions ei muista mitä keskusteltiin tapaamisessa jossa olivat mm. Papadopoulos ja Trump. Oikeusministeri kuitenkin muisti hyvin olleensa Trumpin ja Putinin tapaamista vastaan kyseisessä keskustelussa.
https://www.politico.com/story/2017...dopoulos-proposing-trump-putin-meeting-244881At his first appearance before the House Judiciary Committee, Sessions said he has "no clear recollection" of what was said at a session at which a Trump campaign associate, George Papadopoulos, proposed organizing a meeting between then-candidate Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
However, Sessions said that despite his lack of clarity on what transpired at the March 2016 meeting, he believes he rejected the suggested meeting with Putin.
"I believe that I wanted to make clear to him that he was not authorized to represent the campaign with the Russian government, or any other foreign government, for that matter," Sessions told the committee. "But I did not recall this event, which occurred 18 months before my testimony of a few weeks ago, and would gladly have reported it."
A short time later, Sessions was more blunt about his response to Papadopoulos’ suggestion.
“At the meeting, I pushed back,” the attorney general insisted.
