The embattled attorney general-said he-had already been-planning to take that step,-after consulting-with top Justice-Department-ethics advisers,-even before the Washington Post reported-Wednesday-night that he had failed to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee about-the-two meetings he had last year with Sergey Kislyak, Russia’s ambassador to the United States.-Sessions,-in response to-a question during his confirmation hearing about reports of “a continuing exchange of information” between Russian officials and the Trump campaign, volunteered that he “did not have communications with the Russians.” Sessions, who was a senator at the time, was also a key adviser to Donald Trump during the campaign.
