YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe memory can get a little fuzzy when you’re under oath and a scumbag. John Iadarola and Jayar Jackson, hosts of The Young Turks, discuss. Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
"America's top law official also told the Senate Intelligence Committee any suggestion he colluded with the Kremlin was "an appalling and detestable lie".
Mr Sessions also repeatedly refused to answer questions about his private conversations with the president.
He vowed to defend his honour "against scurrilous and false allegations".
Mr Sessions' remarks came after sacked FBI boss James Comey said he believed he was fired to influence the agency's investigation into Russian political meddling.
US intelligence agencies believe that Russia interfered in the election in order to help Republican President Donald Trump get elected.
The Senate committee is of one several congressional panels that, along with a special counsel, is also investigating whether any Trump campaign officials colluded with the alleged Kremlin plot.
Mr Sessions, the country's top law enforcement official, told the Senate committee he has never received a classified briefing about Russian meddling in last year's election.”*
