WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — On March 2, Sessions publicly recused himself from any investigation related to the campaigns of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
"His involvement seems to be a clear violation of his recusal, and can only be construed as an attempt to influence an ongoing investigation that threatens to examine his own role in the 2016 presidential campaign, as well other elements of President Trump’s campaign and administration," the letter said.
Senators Martin Heinrich, Elizabeth Warren, Richard Blumenthal, Ron Wyden, Kirsten Gillibrand, Jack Reed, Tammy Duckworth, Ed Markey, Patty Murray, Tom Udall and Maria Cantwell signed the letter, which was spearheaded by Heinrich and Warren.
Russia has repeatedly denied any interference in the US political system and called the allegations absurd.
