Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer joined many of his top Democrat Congressional peers including Nancy Pelosi, Elijah Cummins and Elizabeth Warren, in calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign and be investigated by the DOJ’s inspector general to determine whether he compromised an investigation into Russian influence.
“It would be better for the country if he resigned,” Schumer told reporters. “You have to be above reproach,” he added.
In recent weeks Schumer had called for Sessions to recuse himself from the DOJ probe of contacts between Trump campaign administration officials and Russian intelligence agents. He stepped up his demands after last night’s report that Sessions misled Congress about meeting with the Russian ambassador.
Schumer said there was nothing wrong with Sessions meeting with the Russian ambassador, but that he transgressed by misleading lawmakers about whether he met with Sergey Kislyak in July and September. “If there was nothing wrong — Why didn’t you come clean to Congress and tell the whole truth?” Schumer asked.
Meanwhile, Nancy Pelosi, who was among the first to call for Sessions’ scalp, slammed Republicans calling for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to recuse himself from investigations into Russia, saying it’s too late for that. “We are far past recusal. Jeff #Sessions lied under oath. Anything less than resignation or removal from office is unacceptable,” Pelosi tweeted.
