Leahy, I am honoring the recusal in every case, in every matter that comes before the Department of Justice. Justice Department officials refused to confirm the report, telling Fox News they could not talk about recusals because that would confirm the existence of the investigation. Sessions doubled down on his initial answer, telling Leahy and the panel that he would “comply” with his recusal. Leahy cited a Washington Post article from last week suggesting Sessions would quit amid a potential Rosenstein termination. Sessions was asked whether Trump would pardon Cohen, to which Sessions did not answer, noting he would not reveal conversations he had with the president.
