Atty. Gen. Jeff Sessions insisted Tuesday that he omitted mention of meetings with the then-Russian ambassador when he filled out security forms because he had been advised that senators need not list official meetings.
Sessions said he was told by his executive assistant that, given the volume of meetings senators take part in, "we were not required to list" them on forms that asked for any communication with foreign officials.
The attorney general said he thought that approach "was reasonable."
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) on Tuesday grilled Attorney General Jeff Sessions during a hearing before the House Judiciary Committee, peppering the nation's top cop with questions about his past statements about meeting with Russian officials.
During the questioning, Lieu suggested that Sessions lied to lawmakers when he failed to disclose the meetings during his confirmation hearing after being asked about contacts between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
"You did have communications with the Russians last year, isn't that right?" Lieu pressed.

*MEDIA ADVISORY: FOR PLANNING PURPOSES*
Like many Americans, I watched in horror as the news rolled in this past weekend about the mass shooting unfolding at a church in Texas. My heart broke at the stories of children and parishioners gunned down in their place of worship. I cannot begin to imagine the pain and dread the loved ones of the victims must feel — from classrooms in Sandy Hook to concerts in Las Vegas, it feels like no place is safe from mass shootings anymore.
