Jeff Sessions talked to Russian officials twice and didn't disclose it to Senate

Attorney General had contacts twice with Russian officials last year but he did not disclose it to the Senate during his confirmation hearings even though he was asked about contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign.

According to The Washington Post, Sessions spoke with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak in September of 2016 in Sessions's own office.

At the time, Session was an adviser to Trump's campaign. But when he was asked during his confirmation hearings about people affiliated with the Trump campaign being in contact with Russian officials, Sessions said “I’m not aware of any of those activities,” and added: “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.”

Donald Trump has insisted on repeating the lie that the references to his campaign being in contact with Russia are "fake news."
