President Trump’s newly selected attorney general Jeff Sessions has decided to recuse himself from any investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign, despite being the chief of the justice department. In recent days, former senator sessions faced incredible amounts of pressure after allegations surfaced that he had contacts with the Russian ambassador Sergey Krislyak during the campaign and he did lie to congress during his senate confirmation hearings under oath.

However, Mr. Sessions and the Republicans defended by saying that before becoming the attorney General, Mr. Session was a senior member of the Arms services committee and it was his job to meet with foreign ambassadors, which he did in plenty including the Russian ambassador. However, that failed to appease the democrats and the media, which according to president Trump and the Republicans, is in a frenzy to prove Russian links to the President.

According to several congressmen including the House speaker Paul Ryan, the evidence found so far shows that the Russian intelligence services tried to meddle with the US election but no connections or evidence were found that Trump campaign had any collaborations with them.

A special prosecutor is likely to get appointed instead of Mr. Session
