Attorney General Jeff Sessions is recusing himself from any existing or future probes related to any campaigns for president, he said today.
The move comes after it was reported Wednesday night that Sessions had two meetings with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. in 2016 after he started supporting Donald Trump's presidential bid and then failed to disclose the contacts during his confirmation hearing.
"Let me be clear, I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign," Sessions told reporters. "And the idea that I was part of a 'continuing exchange of information' during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries to the Russian government are false."
In a statement, Sessions said that over the last several weeks he has been meeting with "relevant senior career Department officials" over whether he should recuse himself and "having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States."
