The regulation, 28 CFR 45.2, notes that a Justice Department employee shall not participate in a criminal investigation or prosecution if he has a personal or political relationship with an elected official, a candidate (whether or not successful) for elective, public office, a political party, or a campaign organization.
I recused myself not because of any asserted wrongdoing on my part during the campaign, Sessions said. But because a Department of Justice regulation, 28 CFR 45.2, required it.
