Attorney General Jeff Sessions told reporters on Thursday he will recuse himself from the crackpot “Russian” conspiracy investigations by the Department of Justice.
AG Sessions made the announcement at his Thursday afternoon presser.
Sessions is under fire for holding a meeting with the Russian ambassador in September as head of the Senate Armed Services Committee.
