TOMORROW: Sessions To Deny Perjury Accusations

ABC News reports:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions will testify in an open session before the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday afternoon as a part of its ongoing probe into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

Sessions’ testimony is not expected to go into great detail, a source with knowledge told ABC News. However, during his testimony and in answering senators’ questions, Sessions is prepared to address some outstanding lines of inquiry regarding the Russia investigation and his time as attorney general.

Sessions is prepared to make clear that there was no “third meeting” with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at the Mayflower Hotel, the source said, pushing back on reports that Sessions could have met with Kislyak at an April 2016 Trump campaign event they both attended at the hotel.

The attorney general is also expected to push back on the notion that he committed perjury when he denied having had any communications with Russians during the presidential campaign last year, the source said.
