Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are calling for Sessions to recuse himself. Critics demand that a special counsel investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election.

So far, Sessions denies any wrongdoing, and the White House claims these revelations are "the latest attack against the Trump administration by partisan Democrats."
But Democrats aren't the only ones calling for Sessions to recuse himself.
Even Jason Chaffetz recently got on board the recuse train.
AG Sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself

And some people—including Nancy Pelosi—don't think Sessions recusing himself is going nearly far enough. They want him to resign and face charges for lying to Congress.
Why the fuck is anybody saying Sessions should recuse himself? He lied under oath to congress; HE NEEDS TO RESIGN

Sessions continues to say that his statement to Congress was not false and that his meetings with the Russian Ambassador were benign.
