An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.
Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.
“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.
Okay is there ANYBODY associated with this administration that is NOT somehow connected to the Russians?
I am beginning to think that on the Trump Administration job application there is a box marked "Are you besties with any Russians."
If you mark "Yes" you continue on, but if you mark "No" you are instructed to immediately hand in your application and leave the premises voluntarily or be escorted out by security.
This Burt guy was asked if he knew whether Sessions knew that he was a Russian lobbyist, and he said he did not.
But seriously at this point, after all of the Russian contacts that Sessions conveniently forgot, are ywe buying it?
