WASHINGTON ― Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Sunday gave her most direct call yet for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to remove himself from an investigation into President Donald Trump and his campaign’s ties to Russia. “The attorney general must recuse himself,” Pelosi said on ABC’s “This Week.”“You have seen a flurry of activities that are completely inappropriate,” Pelosi said. Republicans have repeatedly deferred questions about Russia and Trump to the intelligence committees in Congress and the Department of Justice. But considering Sessions’ role in the Trump campaign, Pelosi and other Democrats want a special, independent investigation outside of the DOJ. But, again, Nunes himself is looking incapable of an impartial investigation, and Democrats believe the matter rises above a normal congressional inquiry.
