Press Release
Issues: Executive Branch Legal
U.S. Senator Chris Coons (D-Del.), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and all committee Democrats today called on Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), nominee for attorney general, to allow investigations of Russia hacking to proceed and to recuse himself from those proceedings.
The letter poses two questions to Senator Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), the nominee to become attorney general:
"Will you commit not to impede or shut down any FBI or Justice Department investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election?"
"Will you commit to recuse yourself from any FBI or Justice Department investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election?"
