Sessions: No plan to recuse from DOJ Trump probes [View all]
Source: The Hill
Sen. Jeff Sessions, President Trump's nominee for attorney general, does not plan to recuse himself from potential Justice Department investigations connected to Trump, Politico reported.
Sessions said in written responses to members of the Senate Judiciary Committee he is "not aware of a basis to recuse myself" from investigations into incidents involving the president, such as Russian meddling in the presidential race or issues relating to conflicts of interest.
During his confirmation hearing, Sessions said he would recuse himself from any possible investigations related to Hillary Clinton if he was confirmed as attorney general.
He said the politically charged comments he made about the Clintons during the presidential campaign would give the appearance he is not impartial in potential probes of the private email server she used while secretary of State.
