ore fallout from Mueller's first indictments in the Russia investigation. According to newly released court documents, it appears that Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied to Congress about the Trump campaign's attempts to collude with Russian operatives.
When asked during a hearing last month whether he was aware of communications between the Trump campaign and the Russians, Sessions replied, "I did not, and I’m not aware of anyone else that did...And I don’t believe it happened.”

At every turn, Sessions has tried obfuscate and mislead the American people. He has repeatedly lied to the Senate under oath and eroded the public's trust in the Department of Justice.
