Dem. Senator: Sessions Doesn’t Have A Grasp On The Law

News For You

Ron Wyden, a Senator from Oregon, appeared on Anderson Cooper 360 to talk about Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s testimony before the Senate Committee on Intelligence.

Wyden had previously gotten into a heated argument with Sessions during the hearing all about whether or not Sessions violated his recusal from the Russian investigation by supporting the firing of James Comey.

“He refused, Anderson, to address the most basic issues today,” Wyden replied. “The bottom line is we have had one of these Trump officials after another, and they basically say they aren’t going to respond to questions because they didn’t feel like it”

“He did take an oath to answer questions,” said Cooper. “Is there any recourse you or any other senator, though, can take to get him to actually answer questions he wouldn’t answer, or are your hands pretty much tied?”

“What we learned today is the country’s top legal official doesn’t have much of a grasp of the law, and he certainly doesn’t understand what recusal is all about,” Wyden said.

“He refused, Anderson, to address the most basic issues today,” Wyden replied. “The bottom line is we have had one of these Trump officials after another, and they basically say they aren’t going to respond to questions because they didn’t feel like it”
