The minister simply unlocked

The head of the US Ministry of Justice, Jeff Sessnes, at the hearing in the Senate Committee on Intelligence, said that he had never discussed issues of the presidential election campaign with Russian representatives. It is reported by Associated Press.

"The assumptions that I took part in some conspiracy with the Russian authorities aimed at causing harm to our country, which I honestly served for 35 years, or to undermine our democracy, is a terrible and disgusting lie," said Seshns.

The head of the Ministry of Justice also denied that he had a meeting with the Russian ambassador Sergei Kislyak on April 27 last year at the Mayflower hotel in Washington. On June 1, the CNN television channel and Ssydka to its own sources reported on the possibility of such a meeting.

Sehns also stated that he did not have information about the meetings of the employees of the campaign headquarters of Donald Trump with Russian representatives.

The dismissal of the head of the FBI James Komi was in no way connected with the investigation of Russian intervention in the American elections, Sehns emphasized. According to him, he, along with the deputy, came to the conclusion that it was time to renew the leadership of the FBI.

In addition, Sehns said that his self-expression from the investigation of Russian intervention was not connected with any accusations against him. “Many suggested that my refusal was caused by the feeling that I myself am the object of investigation, that perhaps I did something wrong,” said Sehns. “I did not refuse to protect my honor from hasty and false accusations.”

Sehns agreed to testify the Senate Commission after Komi spoke there. The ex-director of the FBI said that he has no doubt about Russia's attempts to intervene in the American elections.

On March 2, The Washington Post reported that Seshns in 2016 met twice with a sour . It was argued that he did not mention these meetings at the hearing in the Senate when he considered his candidacy for the post of head of the Ministry of Justice. Then the Democrats demanded the immediate resignation of Seshns.

The next day, the official took self -confrontation from participation in all investigations regarding the election campaign of Trump.
