Anderson Cooper Calls Out Sessions’ ‘Selective Memory When It Comes to Contact with Russia’

"On two prior occasions, Jeff Sessions, the nation's top law enforcement officer has raised his right hand, sworn to tell the truth, then said things that later turned out not to be true." @AndersonCooper is #KeepingThemHonest. https://t.co/id0dMEko9Q

CNN’s Anderson Cooper opened tonight by calling out Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his “selective memory when it comes to contact with Russia.”

Sessions said today he has never lied and “to the best of my memory” has answered all the questions he could to the best of his ability.

But Cooper said, “That memory of his seems non-existent in a lot of places, very specific in others.”

He brought up Sessions’ past claims and his statement today that he “had no recollection” of meeting George Papadopoulos, before showing other times Sessions said “I don’t recall.”
