White House not asking Sessions to recuse himself from Russia investigation

The White House doesn’t think Attorney General Jeff Sessions needs to recuse himself from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department investigations into President Trump’s possible connections with Russia, a spokeswoman said Sunday.

Speaking on ABC, White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Congress needs to perform its review into claims Trump campaign officials had multiple connections with Russian intelligence officers during the campaign. She said the FBI doesn’t think there’s much to the allegations, but it’s not time to worry about Sessions’ role in the investigation.
