Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced Tuesday that he will not be recusing himself from the investigation into President Donald Trump’s lawyer, Michael Cohen. Cohen is being investigated for alleged hush money payments made to women during Trump’s presidential campaign.
Sessions previously recused himself from any investigations by the Department of Justice into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, as well as “any matters arising from the campaigns.”
Sessions said he had to recuse himself not because of any wrongdoing, but because he had been a surrogate for Trump during the campaign. He cited a Department of Justice rule that mandates that DOJ employees cannot “participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with any person or organization substantially involved in the conduct that is the subject of the investigation or prosecution, or who would be directly affected by the outcome.”
Trump called Sessions’ decision to recuse himself “a very terrible mistake for the country,” and “very unfair to the president.”
He also said that had he known in advance that Sessions would recuse himself from the Russia investigation, he would have nominated someone else to be attorney general.
