UPDATE FULL OPENING STATEMENT ADDED – Sessions calls collusion accusations an APPALLING and DETESTABLE LIE

Sessions gave a very forceful opening statement today in his hearing today where he not only stated unequivocally that he has never met with any Russian officials concerning interference in the election, but further called such accusations appalling and detestable lies.

Watch:
