    Hey come on, he forgot he had 2 meetings with the Russian ambassador in the Summer & Fall of 2016, during a Presidential campaign, a campaign that he was heavily involved with and with the eventual winner. But maybe they were talking Ruble to Dollar variations or the latest Golf course in Scotland or a travel package to Cuba or Alabama football. We don’t know what they discussed or would’ve discussed had they met – PB/TK

    Sessions did not disclose meetings with Russian ambassador during Trump campaign – Sabrina Siddiqui Thursday 2 March 2017

    Donald Trump’s attorney general Jeff Sessions twice spoke with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential campaign.
    The Washington Post, citing justice department officials, first reported that Sessions met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak once in September 2016, when US intelligence officials were investigating Russian interference in the presidential election, and once in the summer of that year.

    It was communications with Kislyak that led to the firing of Trump’s first national security adviser, Michael Flynn, in February.
    A spokeswoman for Sessions confirmed that the meetings took place, but provided a statement from the attorney general saying they were not related to the election campaign.

    “I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign,” Sessions’ statement said. “I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”
    Sessions reiterated on Thursday morning that he had “not met with any Russians at any time to discuss any political campaign”, in an interview with MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
