Schumer: Attorney General Sessions ‘Must Recuse Himself Immediately’ In Flynn Case

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Wednesday demanded that Attorney General Jeff Sessions “must recuse himself immediately” from any investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn.

Speaking on the Senate floor, Schumer said, “Attorney General Sessions must recuse himself immediately. Any investigation headed, directed by or influenced by the attorney general will be jaundiced from the very start.”

“It is now readily apparent that General Flynn’s resignation is not the end of the story,” Schumer said. “It is merely the beginning of a much longer story.”

Schumer called for a “full, independent, impartial and transparent investigation” into the circumstances that led to Flynn’s resignation.
