Another member of President Donald Trump’s administration is facing calls to resign after it emerged they also spoke to Russian officials during the US election campaign.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions talked on two occasions with Russia’s ambassador to the United States and failed to declare the contact during his confirmation hearing in January.
House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi accused Sessions of “lying under oath” and demanded he resign.

Sessions had more than 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors last year in his role as a US senator and senior member of the Armed Services Committee. And he had two separate interactions with the Russian ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, the Justice Department confirmed. It comes after National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was last month fired over a call he made to the Russian Ambassador in December during which they allegedly discussed sanctions.
