In his Senate confirmation hearings, before being approved for his new post as attorney general, Sessions denied that he had met with Russians.

Wednesday, the Justice Department reported Session had contact twice with Russian officials during the campaign. The Washington Post was the first to report this information.

Sessions is firing back.

He released a statement Wednesday night, saying: "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false."

Sessions and his team point out that last year he met with officials from dozens of different countries because of his role on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

As attorney general, Sessions is in charge of the FBI investigation of Russia's election hacking. Some members of his party say he may need to recuse himself from the investigation.

"If there's something there, if the FBI believes is criminal in nature, then, for sure, you need a special prosecutor. If that day ever comes, I'll be the first one to say it needs to be somebody other than Jeff," Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-SC, said.

Some Democrats, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, are calling for Sessions to resign.

White House officials call the new reports just the latest partisan attack on the Trump administration.
