Attorney General Jeff Sessions Recuses Himself from Russia Investigation (2017-03-02)
Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuses himself from any investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election after revelations that he met twice with Russian Ambassador Kislyak during the campaign and failed to disclose it in his Senate confirmation hearing. The recusal enrages Trump, who never forgives Sessions. The recusal paves the way for Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein to appoint a special counsel.
