Attorney General Jeff Sessions has been interviewed by investigators for Special Counsel Robert Mueller, making him the highest-ranking Trump administration official questioned in the criminal probe into whether anyone tied to the president helped Russia meddle in the 2016 election.

The interview came as Sessions weathers a rocky relationship with President Donald Trump and is under pressure from Republicans to look into allegations that some FBI agents and Justice Department officials have a political bias against the president.
