The Congressional Black Caucus is calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign.
A majority of the 49-member caucus voted to issue a statement calling
for Sessions to resign because of how he has handled conversations he
had with Russian officials during the presidential campaign.
"Every day the Department of Justice prosecutes people for lying
under oath, yet the man who leads the department has lied under oath on
more than one occasion," the Congressional Black Caucus said Monday in a
statement to the media. "Attorney General Sessions is unfit to serve as
the top law enforcement official in the nation and should resign from
his position immediately."
In his Senate confirmation hearing, Sessions failed to disclose his
contacts with then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the
campaign.
After news reports
revealed Sessions met with Kislyak on more than one occasion, Sessions
acknowledged the meetings, but said they were not related to the Trump
campaign and were relevant to his job at the time as a senator
representing Alabama.
