The plan "interception"

The Ambassador of Russia to the United States Sergey Kislyak discussed issues related to the campaign of Donald Trump, with his adviser, and now the Minister of Justice Jeff Sehns. It is reported by The Washington Post with reference to anonymous sources.

According to the sources of the publication, American intelligence intercepted the Kislyak’s report. In them, the Russian ambassador reported on the discussion with Sehnes "significant" issues on the position of Trump in relation to Russia and the prospects of Russian-American relations in the event of his victory in the elections.

Meanwhile, Seshns said that he was not going to resign after the message of The Washington Post. According to ABC News with reference to sources familiar with the situation, the head of the Ministry of Justice will leave his post only if Trump himself asks him for this.

The Ministry of Justice also denies that Seshns had meetings or discussions with foreign officials "relative to any type of intervention" in connection with the elections in 2016.

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.

On June 14, Seshns, at a hearing in the Senate Committee on Intelligence, said that he had never discussed with Russian representatives and issues of the presidential election campaign. "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 Kislyak on April 27 last year at the Mayflower hotel in Washington. On June 1, the CNN television channel with a snap on its own sources reported on the possibility of such a meeting. In addition, Seshns said that he did not have information about the meetings of Trump’s election headquarters with Russian representatives.

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.”
