The special counsel investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia has officially penetrated the president’s inner circle.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was questioned for several hours last week as special counsel Robert Mueller and his team of legal experts dive deeper into allegations against President Trump and his former and current associates, the New York Times reported.
It wasn’t immediately clear what questions were posed to Sessions, but he is a key witness in several targets of the probe: During the campaign, Sessions met with several Russian officials and was involved in developing Trump’s positions on Russia.
The attorney general also may have information about the firing of then-FBI director James Comey.
The president’s relationship with Sessions has been rocky since he recused himself in any future investigations involving Trump’s campaign since the former Alabama senator had close ties of his close ties to the campaign.
So far, Mueller’s investigation has produced indictments against four former Trump campaign.
