Trump Says He Has 'total' Confidence In Attorney General Jeff Sessions

President Donald Trump said Thursday he has "total" confidence in Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the Associated Press reported, as some Democrats call for Sessions to resign over reports he had contacts with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during Trump's campaign despite earlier denials. Sessions has said he will recuse himself "whenever it's appropriate" from investigating ties between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.
