The Political Junkie: Trump, Sessions And Russia

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions is under fire for corresponding with the Russian ambassador during the 2016 election.

The revelations are leading to more calls for a special prosecutor to investigate the Trump administration's ties to Russia.

Some Democrats are calling for Sessions to resign, saying his assertions during his confirmation hearing - that he did not have correspondence with Russian officials - amount to lying under oath.

Meanwhile, President Donald Trump delivered his first speech to Congress and many are calling it his most “presidential” address to date.
