Leahy to Sessions: ‘You can’t run forever’

Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) has a message for Attorney General Jeff Sessions: “You can’t run forever.”

“Atty Gen. Sessions provided false testimony in response to questions from me and about his contacts with Russian officials,” Leahy tweeted Saturday.

“Now, twice in 2 mos., AG Sessions cancels an Approps hg in which I could Q him about his false testimony and half-hearted Russia recusal,” the Democratic senator said in a subsequent tweet.
“My mssg to AttyGen Sessions: Approps & Judiciary have oversight of DOJ. You need to testify before both in public. You can’t run forever,”
.. Sessions was supposed to testify in front of the House and Senate Appropriations subcommittees this week but said in a statement he would send Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein to that hearing.
Instead, Sessions will testify before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating any ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
