Attorney General Jeff Sessions questioned as part of the Russia inquiry by the Special Counsel, according to The New York Times. Axios Reporter Alayna Treene explains the implications of this interview from a member of President Trump's cabinet. "It's a huge deal," said Treene. "It's going to play a big role in what Mueller is looking into." In other news, FBI Director Christopher Wray reportedly threatened to resign amid pressure from Trump and Session according to a report in Axios. Treene says this is in tune with reports Trump and his administration have been putting a lot of pressure on the FBI, and looking at ways to discredit the Russia investigation.
