Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley made the following statement regarding President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Senator Jeff Sessions to be Attorney General.
"Senator Sessions is a respected member and former Ranking Member of the Judiciary Committee who has worked across the aisle on major legislation. He knows the Justice Department as a former U.S. attorney, which would serve him very well in this position. With this background, I'm confident he would be reported favorably out of the committee."
