Sessions did not recuse himself from any of those items.

The email issues, CF, and the U1 deal all predate the 2016 campaign.

Sessions only recused himself from issues concerning the Trump campaign itself:

Not correct.

(Senate Judiciary Committee Hearing Transcript | Jan. 10, 2017 | excerpt)

SESSIONS: Mr. Chairman, it was a highly contentious campaign. I, like a lot of people, made comments about the issues in that campaign. With regard to Secretary Clinton and some of the comments I made, I do believe that that could place me objectivity in question. I've given that thought. I believe the proper thing for me to do, would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton and that were raised during the campaign or to be otherwise connected to it.

GRASSLEY: OK. I think, that's -- let me emphasize then with a follow up question. To be very clear, you intend to recuse yourself from both the Clinton e-mail investigation and any matters involving the Clinton Foundation, if there are any?

SESSIONS: Yes.
