11:01Now PlayingDuring Jeff Sessions opening remarks Sessions said he didn’t say what he actually said. Cenk Uygur and John Iadarola, hosts of The Young Turks, break down Jeff Sessions opening remarks. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
“On Tuesday, Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Sessions earlier this year to be the Attorney General.
A transcript of Sessions' opening remarks is below:
"Chairman Grassley, Ranking Member Feinstein, distinguished members of the Committee, I am honored to appear before you today. I thank you for the opportunity to respond to your questions as you discharge your duty in the appointment process prescribed by our Constitution.
"I also want to thank my dear friends, Senator Richard Shelby and Senator Susan Collins for their kind introductions. It is hard to believe, really, that the three of us have served together in this body for nearly 20 years.
"When I arrived in the Senate in 1997, I probably wouldn’t have anticipated becoming so close with a colleague from Maine—two people from the northern-most and the southern-most parts of the country. It took us a while to understand each other’s accents, but once we did, we became fast friends. Of course, Senator Shelby and I never had that problem. He has been a steadfast friend and I think we’ve been a pretty good team looking out for the best interests of the great people of Alabama. Thank you both.”
