After new revelations, Sessions faces another grilling on Russia contacts in Trump campaign

Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions has repeatedly said he was unaware if any Trump campaign aides met with Russians. Court papers say he was repeatedly told of some contacts. Now a House committee wants him to explain — again — why he can't get his Russia story straight. Three times, he has appeared before his former colleagues in the Senate and answered questions about what he knew about contacts with Russians during the campaign. Three times, Sessions stumbled, issuing denials that later proved to be incomplete or wrong. On Tuesday, he will face another grilling on Capitol Hill, this time prompted by claims in court documents and congressional testimony that he was told of at least two aides’ meetings with Russian officials — despite his claim last month that he was unaware of any such contacts.
