Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the “suggestion” he colluded with Russians in the 2016 election “an appalling and detestable lie.”
“I have never met with or had any conversation with any Russians or any foreign officials concerning any type of interference with any campaign or election in the United States,” Sessions told the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday. “Further, I have no knowledge of any such conversations by anyone connected to the Trump campaign.”
“I was your colleague in this body for 20 years, at least some of you,” he continued. “And the suggestion that I participated in any collusion — that I was aware of any collusion with the Russian government to hurt this country, which I have served with honor for 35 years, or to undermine the integrity of our democratic process — is an appalling and detestable lie.”
