Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ highly anticipated testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday will be public, committee leaders announced, agreeing to calls from numerous lawmakers and the AG himself to put the hearing on the record. It had been unclear whether the attorney general would speak in closed or open session. On “Fox News Sunday,” Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said he also has questions about Sessions’ participation in Comey’s firing – considering the firing came after Sessions recused himself from the Russia probe. Reed, further, said he has questions about Sessions’ past meetings with Russian officials beyond those he’s already declared. The Department of Justice, however, issued a statement standing by the original explanation that Sessions recused himself due to his participation in Trump’s campaign.
