Sessions Recuses Himself From Russia Probes

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said he would recuse himself from any investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. It follows revelations that Sessions twice met with the Russian ambassador but had failed to tell Congress during his confirmation hearing. At a press conference on March 2, Sessions rejected any suggestion that he tried to mislead anyone about his contacts with the Russian diplomat. (AP, AFP)
