President Donald Trump’s attorney general, Jeff Sessions, has been questioned by the special counsel’s office in its probe into Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Robert Mueller’s office questioned Sessions for several hours last week. It was the first time that a Trump Cabinet member was known to have been interviewed for that investigation.
The New York Times first reported the news. Sessions’ spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, confirmed to CNBC that the attorney general was interviewed last week by the special counsel’s office.
