Ordered by court to disclose his Russia contacts, Sessions releases blank sheet of paper
What’s he hiding?
What’s he hiding? In response to a court order directing Attorney General Jeff Sessions to disclose the part of his security clearance form detailing his Russia contacts, the Department of Justice released a mostly blank page of paper. The Thursday morning “disclosure” comes in response to a lawsuit from an ethics watchdog group. According to NPR, a “recently-launched ethics watchdog group called American Oversight filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March for sections of the Standard Form 86 [i.e., security clearance] relating to Sessions’ contacts ‘with any official of the Russian government.’” On June 12, a judge ordered the DOJ to comply with the request within 30 days.
