'Lobbyist for Russian interests says he attended dinners hosted by Sessions

An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important
foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended
two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently
contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.'

'Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had
any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the
course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to
Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian
interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm
previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the
time.

“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign
policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.'

Awwww... ...wingnuts:

How are you going to call this one "anonymous"?
