Feinstein: Sessions’ Judiciary Committee responses ‘incomplete’

Published December 13, 2016 8:20pm ET



Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, complained Tuesday that Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, the attorney general nominee, submitted incomplete responses to a standard panel questionnaire and accused Sessions and his staff of putting it together “in haste” even though it far exceeded previous nominees’ responses in length.

Sessions’ answers to the committee’s questionnaire, Feinstein said, are in excess of 150,000 pages of material, more than 100 times what Attorney General Loretta Lynch produced and more than 29 times what Attorney General Eric Holder offered.
