He did in the House what Al Fraken has done to Jefferson Beauregard Sessions in the Senate!

4. Sessions and Richard Burt

Richard Burt a lobbyist for a Russian bank and Deutsche bank met with Sessions and helped prepare the Trump speech at the Mayflower Hotel, had dinner at Jeff Sessions house during the summer before the 2016 election.

This is another time that Sessions met with representatives of Russian interests that he seemed to have forgotten about and failed to report.

American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.

Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.

“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.

Asked whether Sessions was unfamiliar with Burt’s role as a lobbyist for Russian interests – a fact that is disclosed in public records – or had any reason to be confused about the issue, Burt told the Guardian that he did not know.
