AG Sessions first met Russian envoy in meeting by Obama Admin: Trump

In yet another tweet defending Attorney General Jeff Sessions, President Donald Trump said that Sessions first met the Russian ambassador during a meeting set up by the Obama Administration for 100 envoys.

"The first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Amb was set up by the Obama Administration under education program for 100 Ambs.....," the President tweeted.

The President added in another tweet, said the same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the White House 22 times under the previous administration.

"Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone," tweeted Trump.

Sessions is presently being accused of misleading the Congress by failing to disclose pre-election meetings with the Russian ambassador to Washington Sergey Kislyak. Earlier on Thursday Trump said in support of the Attorney General that he was an honest man and had not said anything wrong.

Accusing the Democrats of creating the fuss around Jeff Sessions, Trump said the Democrats are overplaying their hand as they lost the elections and now they have lost their grip on reality.

"Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win," Trump said in a series of tweets.
