Attorney General Jeff Sessions will reply to any questions Senate Democrats have about his contacts with Russia’s ambassador in writing, the Justice Department said Friday. Grassley declined the request for a public hearing. Sessions will submit written answers to the Democratic lawmakers on Monday, Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said. The letter came a day after Sessions recused himself from an investigation into Russia’s alleged influence in the presidential election. Sessions said Thursday he met Kislyak in his office two months before the election as well as at an event at the Republican National Convention.
