Sessions had two conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the presidential campaign season last year, contact that immediately fueled calls for him to recuse himself from a Justice Department investigation into Russian interference in the election. The Justice Department said Wednesday night, March 1, 2017, that the two conversations took place last year when Sessions was a senator. (AP Photo/Susan Walsh, Pool, File) (AP)

In this photo taken Aug. 18, 2016,Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton speaks to media at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. In his speech at the Republican National Convention, Donald Trump made seven references to the conflict in Syria, pointing to the war-ravaged nation as a source of much of the world’s turmoil, particularly immigration and extremism. A week later at the Democratic convention, Hillary Clinton made not one reference to Syria. That could be because the conflict in Syria remains a major conundrum for both President Barack Obama and Clinton, his former secretary of state. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster) (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
