Attorney General Reportedly Questioned in Russia Inquiry
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."
