Attorney General Jeff Sessions is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee today. The questions are all over the map. At this point, it’d be easier to name what they HAVEN’T questioned him on.
At one point, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee asked Sessions about Roy Moore’s accusers.
“Do you believe these young women?” Jackson Lee asked Sessions.
“I have no reason to doubt these young women,” Sessions responded.
