Jeff & probers to talk Russia

- Denis Slattery

ATTORNEY General Jeff Sessions is scheduled to testify before the House Judiciary Committee next week as part of its probe into Russia’s meddling in the presidenti­al election.

The Tuesday sitdown will give Democrats the chance to question the former Alabama senator and Trump campaign adviser about a series of recent revelation­s regarding campaign aides having contact with Russia.

Sessions is facing scrutiny about how much he knew about former campaign aide George Papadopoul­os and his promises of Trump access to the Kremlin.

Trump’s top prosecutor has denied several times under oath that he knew of any links between Moscow and Trump surrogates — although he’s reportedly the person who shot down Papadopoul­os’ proposal.
