A Washington lawyer has confirmed that he’s representing Attorney General Jeff Sessions but is not offering any more specifics.
A statement provided by the office of Chuck Cooper on Tuesday acknowledges that Cooper is representing Sessions. But the statement says Cooper won’t comment on any confidential client matters.
The two men have had a longstanding relationship and Cooper advised Sessions ahead of his January confirmation hearing.
Sessions has faced scrutiny over two contacts he had with the Russian ambassador during the presidential campaign. During a Senate hearing last week, he angrily denied suggestions that he could have had a third, unreported encounter with the ambassador.
Sessions has also faced questions about his role in the firing of FBI Director James Comey last month.
Nice to know El Duende Mal hired someone who truly understands his unique personal needs to defend him.
And lost.
Alabama white man KKK law: if you ain’t guilty or ain’t got nothing to hide, you don’t need a lawyer!
Come KKK Sessions - whatcha hiding or covering up. A little perjury, a little white nationalism over the US Constitution, and throw in a lot of Tussian collusion.
To think little Jeffrey Sessions is our nation’s top law enforcement so called official is as vulgar as it gets! Our nation is deteriorating into a southern slave state banana dictatorship - and Paul Ryan and Mich McConnell are lapping it up like rabid dogs.
The testimony Sessions had to go back and change? Good prep job, Coop!
What’s a little perjury between friends?
A perjury of his peers.
