Week In Politics: AG Sessions' Recusal, Trump Addresses Congress, Pence's Private Email

Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Thursday that he will be recusing himself from any investigations into the presidential campaign and Russian interference in the election.

That came a day after the Washington Post broke the news that Sessions spoke twice with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the campaign, while serving as an adviser to Trump — a revelation that contradicted testimony he gave under oath during his confirmation hearings.

The Sessions news broke just 24 hours after Trump gave his first address to a joint session of Congress, a speech that generally got positive reviews.
