    Donald Trump's choice for US Attorney General was deemed too racist to be federal judge 30 years ago

    Mr Sessions’ nomination for a position as a federal judge was previously blocked by the Senate Judiciary Committee after it heard allegations he:

    -Agreed a white lawyer working for black clients was probably "a race traitor”;
    -Claimed the only problem he had with the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was their drug use;
    -Called a black lawyer “boy” and told him to “be careful what you say to white folks”;
    -Referred to a black local government official as “the n*****”;
    -And called US civil rights groups “un-American organisations teaching anti-American values” and “communist-inspired”, accusing them of trying to “force civil rights down the throats of people”.
