U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions now says he recalls a meeting with then candidate Donald Trump and aides where campaign connections to Russia were discussed, after earlier testifying he was unaware of any such contacts. Sessions had said during his January Senate confirmation hearing that he was unaware of communications between the campaign and Russia. U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Moscow meddled in the 2016 election to help Republican Trump's campaign. (Carolyn Kaster/Associated Press)During the March 2016 meeting, Sessions shut down Papadopoulos's idea of engaging with Russian contacts, according to a source familiar with the matter. After the meeting, Sessions said, he did not have "any further knowledge" of additional contacts between the campaign and Russian officials.
