DAY 297: Jeff Sessions confirms Trump wants a "whatabout" investigation on Hillary Clinton

Jeff Sessions testified before Congress for the second time about why he lied about his knowledge of the Trump campaign being in contact with Russian officials. Sessions, of course, claimed he did not "remember" the fact that he talked to Carter Page about his trip to Russia.

But then Sessions and the Republicans tried to change the subject to a non-issue. Sessions confirmed during his testimony what was revealed the previous day: that he had asked the Justice Department if a Special Counsel could be appointed to investigate Hillary Clinton because of the permission the Obama administration gave for the 2010 purchase of a uranium mining company by a Canadian company that was bought by Russia.
