Attorney General Jeff Sessions denied he lied or misled Congress about contacts with Russia by people involved in Donald Trump’s presidential campaign, saying he simply forgot about a meeting that’s emerged in the probe by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.
“I will not accept and reject accusations that I have ever lied," Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee Tuesday. "I have always told the truth, and I have answered every question as I understood them and to the best of my recollection.”
