— Richard Painter, ethics attorney under George W. Bush, tweeted about the revelation last night that contrary to his testimony before the Senate, Jeff Sessions met with the Russian ambassador twice in 2016. When asked by Senator Franken during his confirmation hearing what he would do if presented with evidence that a Trump representative spoke with Russian officials during the course of the campaign, Sessions responded, “I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.” A Sessions spokesperson indicated those conversations with the Russian ambassador were not about the election, therefore they were not misleading.
