Kansans in Congress urge wait and see on Sessions
Kansas's two senators Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran and Representative Lynn Jenkins said they will await intelligence committee findings before judging Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Democrats pressed for resignation after The Washington Post reported Sessions met twice in 2016 with the Russian ambassador, which he had denied during confirmation hearings. Sessions later recused himself from a Justice Department probe into Russian interference.
