Grassley Reacts to Request for Sessions to Return to Committee

Statement

Date: March 3, 2017
Location: Washington, DC

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released the following statement after receiving a letter asking for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to return to the committee for a hearing to supplement the testimony he provided to the committee on Jan. 11. There are no plans to ask Sessions to come before the committee before an annual oversight hearing, as is customary.

"Attorney General Sessions did the right thing by recusing himself, and he did exactly what he said he'd do regarding potential recusals when he was before our committee. It's unfortunate that the Democrats didn't even have the decency to give him an opportunity to clear up confusion to the statement in writing."
