Trump: Attorney and Sessions

trump: But when Sessions faced Senate confirmation for a job 30 years ago, it didnt go well, according to Brandon Sun. Nominated for a federal judgeship in 1986, Sessions, R-Ala., was dogged by racist comments he was accused of making while serving as U.S. attorney in Alabama. Jeff Sessions is a likely pick for a top post in his administration. He was said to have called a black assistant U.S. attorney boy and the NAACP un-American and was the first senator to back Trump during the campaign and is an architect of Trump immigration, counterterrorism and trade policies. The Trump transition team released a statement Thursday saying the president-elect is unbelievably impressed with Sessions, citing his work as a U.S. attorney and state attorney general in Alabama. His name has been floated for attorney general and secretary of defence. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
