Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. told his superiors in Moscow that he discussed campaign-related issues with Jeff Sessions, who is now the attorney general, The Washington Post reported Friday.
Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions, who was then a GOP senator from Alabama, were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies that monitor Russian communications, according to the Post, which cited current and former U.S. officials.
The conversations included discussions on U.S.-Russia relations under a Trump administration and Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues, according to a former U.S. intelligence official.
Sessions initially failed to disclose that he met with Kislyak during the campaign, and then denied that the meetings were anything more than standard discussions in his capacity as a U.S. senator and were not related to the Trump campaign.

Sounds like Trump has already started filling in Session’s pink slip and putting together his compensation package.
Interesting that the only proof we have of these meetings and what was said was Russian envoy Sergey Kislyak’s accounts.
