House Democrats say Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have violated his promise to recuse himself from investigations involving President Trump’s campaign, by recommending that Trump fire former FBI Director James Comey.
“If the facts now being reported are accurate, it appears that the Attorney General’s actions in recommending that President Trump fire Director Comey may have contradicted his sworn testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee at his confirmation hearing, breached the public recusal he made before the American people, and violated the law enacted by Congress to prevent conflicts of interest at the Department of Justice,” Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., and John Conyers, D-Mich., wrote in a letter to the Justice Department.
