Sessions Tries to Hide His Past from Senate

President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, is withholding decades’ worth of records from his career ahead of his Senate confirmation hearings early next month, according to an exhaustive report issued Friday by progressive advocacy groups. The groups, which include Alliance for Justice and People for the American Way, reviewed the questionnaire that Sessions filled out for the Senate Judiciary Committee — it requires complete documentation of employment history, published writings, interviews and speeches, among other things — and found “astonishingly deficient” responses.
