Sessions was being asked to pre-empt the President’s executive privilege. I don’t know why he didn’t just point that out when the senator said only the President has the privilege, not the AG.
Sessions did and was VERY explicit about it. Sessions was asked several times about conversations with the President and responded the same way....IMOW...I cannot divulge that as the President may wish it to use his executive privilege. He explained it more than once. Some Senators are just plain thick.
