President Trump complained Saturday about leaks that led to the publishing of a new report that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak had “substantive” discussions during the campaign about Trump’s views on Russia, but he did not deny the talks.
“A new INTELLIGENCE LEAK from the Amazon Washington Post, this time against A.G. Jeff Sessions.These illegal leaks, like Comey’s must stop!” Trump wrote on Twitter early Saturday.

Trump later tweeted, “So many people are asking why isn’t the A.G. or Special Council looking at the many Hillary Clinton or Comey crimes. 33,000 e-mail deleted? … What about all of the Clinton ties to Russia, including Podesta Company, Uranium deal, Russian Reset, big dollar speeches etc.”

U.S. spy agencies intercepted the communications between Sessions, the Trump campaign’s foreign policy adviser, and Russia’s top diplomat to the United States, according to the Washington Post.
Kislyak told top Moscow officials about two of the conversations he had with Sessions during the campaign. One of those discussions focused on policies that were important to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration.
