(2 Mar 2017) House Speaker Paul Ryan says Attorney General Jeff Sessions should only recuse himself from a Justice Department investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election if Sessions, himself is a subject of that investigation.
Ryan said Congress has been "presented with no evidence that anyone on the Trump campaign or an American was involved in colluding with the Russians."
Democrats have demanded Sessions' resignation after the revelation that he had twice talked with Moscow's U.S. envoy during the campaign. Sessions' conversations with Ambassador Sergey Kislyak seem to contradict Sessions' sworn statements to Congress during his confirmation hearings.
Ryan said Republicans would continue their own investigations of connections between Russia and Donald Trump's presidential campaign, which the House and Senate Intelligence Committees are conducting.
