Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign following Tuesday’s Senate Intelligence Committee hearing.
As our top law enforcement officer, the AG must be truthful and uphold the law. Sessions cannot continue to serve. He should resign.

In a series of tweets, the senator said, “Sessions was forced to recuse himself from the Russia investigation after he lied to Congress about multiple meetings with the Russians,” and “But even after recusing himself, Sessions recommended that the President fire FBI Director Comey – who was leading the Russia investigation.”
Sessions used his testimony to rebut the Democratic argument that because of his recusal, he should not have made any recommendation to fire Comey. He also spoke about not disclosing meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak during his Senate confirmation hearing, after which he resigned himself from the Justice Department’s Russia probe in February.
