WP: the head of the U.S. justice Department did not disclose contacts with the Russian Ambassador in Washington
Jeff and Roman sessions had two meetings with Sergei Kislyak in July and September 2016, the newspaper said.
WASHINGTON, March 2. /Offset. TASS Dmitry Kirsanov/. The current Minister of justice and the U.S. attorney General Jeff sessions has not publicized its contacts with the Russian Ambassador in Washington Sergei Kislyak held during last year’s American presidential election.
This was written on Wednesday, March 1, the Washington Post (WP), which presented this case in fact, as a new indirect confirmation of the relationship between Russia and the election campaign of Donald trump. The last candidate was actively supported by Sessom during the election campaign in 2016.
According to the newspaper information, and Roman sessions had two meetings with Kislyak in July and September 2016.
Sessions did not mention them at hearings in the U.S. Senate, which was devoted to the consideration of his candidacy after the nomination of the head of the Ministry of justice Republican trump, who won the November presidential election.
In this regard, the WP argued that the revealed information can lead to increased appeals from primarily the US Democratic party to conduct an independent investigation regarding the assigned Washington of Russia’s influence on the course of American elections.
However, the official representative of the head of the Ministry of justice Sarah Isgur Flores stressed that the sessions did not mention contacts with Kislyak, because they were not connected with the election campaign in the United States.
Sessions at the time of the meetings with the Russian Ambassador was a member of the Senate of the Congress and was part of his Committee on the armed forces. “In his (and Roman sessions) reply (to the question about contacts with representatives of the Russian Federation) there was absolutely nothing deceptive,” said Flores.
