Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., on Tuesday called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appear before the Senate Judiciary Committee to clarify an answer he gave during his confirmation hearing in January about possible meetings with Russians.
"It’s hard to come to any other conclusion that he just perjured himself,” Franken told CNN, recalling the hearing. “He answered a question that he asked himself, which is, 'Did I meet with any Russians?' And he answered it falsely. He said no, I hadn’t.”
Sessions maintains that his answer to a question from Franken was correct.
Franken had asked Sessions in January what he would do if he learned of evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign had been in touch with the Russian government in the course of the campaign
Sessions responded that he himself had not had "communications with the Russians." Sessions said Monday that he answered the question the way he did because Franken had raised allegations of continuing communication between Trump associates and intermediaries for the Russian government.
