Jeff Sessions Met With Russian Ambassador A Third Time: Report
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to admit that he lied during his Senate confirmation hearing about meeting with the Russian ambassador. Sessions amended his testimony to reflect two meetings with the Russian ambassador.
Well, according to the Huffington Post, “Sessions appears to have left out a third instance in which they crossed paths.”
In April of 2016, Sessions attended a VIP reception at a hotel in Washington, D.C., with President Donald Trump and roughly two dozen guests, including four ambassadors. One of them was Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The cocktail meet-and-greet took place in a private room at the Mayflower Hotel near the White House. Shortly thereafter, Trump delivered a foreign policy speech in the hotel’s ballroom, where he called for improved U.S.-Russia relations. Kislyak was seated in the front row.
