Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats today called for Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., the nominee for attorney general, to allow investigations into Russian hacking to proceed and to recuse himself from any of those proceedings.

The Democrats, led by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., who chairs the Judiciary panel, asks Sessions not to “impede or shut down” any FBI or Justice Department investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election and asks for a commitment on it.
