Chuck Schumer Press Conference Calling on AG Sessions To Resign 3/2/17. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., called on Jeff Sessions to resign as Attorney General after reports that Sessions spoke to Russia's ambassador twice last year, while Sessions was working as a top advisor and surrogate for Donald Trump's presidential campaign. The news was first reported by the Washington Post, and has since been confirmed by NPR's Carrie Johnson.
"There cannot be even the scintilla of doubt about the impartiality and fairness of the attorney general, the top law enforcement official of the land," Schumer said. "Because the Department of Justice should be above reproach, for the good of the country Attorney General Sessions should resign."
