Jeff Sessions: Press and Eric Tucker

jeff sessions: Associated Press By Eric Tucker The Associated Press Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press Tues., Jan. 10, 2017 WASHINGTON Alabama Sen, according to Toronto Star. Jeff Sessions fervently rejected damnably false accusations of past racist comments Tuesday as he challenged Democratic concerns about the civil rights commitment he would bring as Donald Trump's attorney general. Jeff Sessions told lawmakers weighing his nomination to be the next attorney general, that he will uphold the civil rights of all Americans, including those who are most vulnerable. He vowed at his confirmation hearing to stay independent from the White House and stand up to Trump when necessary. But he also distanced himself from some of Trump's public pronouncements. Sessions laid out a sharply conservative vision for the Justice Department he would oversee, pledging to crack down on illegal immigration, gun violence and the scourge of radical Islamic terrorism and to keep open the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba.
