Washington (CNN)Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not disclose meetings he had last year with Russian officials when he applied for his security clearance, the Justice Department told CNN Wednesday.
Sessions, who met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at least two times last year, didn't note those interactions on the form, which requires him to list "any contact" he or his family had with a "foreign government" or its "representatives" over the past seven years, officials said.
Sessions initially listed a year's worth of meetings with foreign officials on the security clearance form, according to Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores. But she says he and his staff were then told by an FBI employee who assisted in filling out the form, known as the SF-86, that he didn't need to list dozens of meetings with foreign ambassadors that happened in his capacity as a senator.
The FBI declined to comment for this story.

Who cares?
I’ll give the Left credit, they never say die.
Oh no, not this crap again. The Dims are overplaying their hand.
This is old news. obumber set-up one of the meetings.
They were talking about this back in March. IIRC, the meetings with the Russian Ambassador was the reason Sessions recused himself from the investigation into Russian influence in our election. So why is this ‘news’ today?
If Hillary can run for president while illegally running a private email server... if Obama can be President while having ties to known domestic terrorist...
Then Jeff Sessions can lead the FBI because he didn’t file the paperwork properly.
WAKE UP, AMERICA!
A meeting is not a crime.
Murdering a Justice, a witness, or
Seth Rich is a crime.
Rape of children and murdering them is a crime.
So a sitting Senator is no longer able to communicate outside the borders without perfect documentation? Let’s review McCain’s history as well as Graham and their Maine twin. Also, Harry Reid, Pelosi, Schumer and anyone else. This is a true disaster and the downside of trying to capitulate early on regarding this issue. It should not have caused anyone to budge an inch to avoid any precedence.
Isn’t this old news?
Who the hell cares. Lets do the things that matter, health care, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit, jobs, jobs, jobs, deficit, deficit
CNN is clearly a rabid animal and can’t see how lost it is.
They seem to have revived it as a new scandal.
Based upon my recent TS/SBI reinvestigation, I did not have to list official travel or official meetings I had with foreign government officials, because I did it as a part of my job. Former Senator Sessions thus did not have to list when he met with Russian diplomats in his role as a US Senator. Can you say “red herring” for CNN’s report.
Rehash. Very old news. One ‘meeting’ was chatting with a Russian diplomat at a party.
No one gives a rat’s shat about MSM’s Russia obsession, anymore.
But they MAY die. If civil war breaks out because of a coup.
Just saying...
Havent we been down this road already?
Can we compare Hillary’s form to Session’s and then Scrutinize them both together??? Or would that be Sexist??
