Comey testified on Thursday that Sessions refused to shield the FBI from politicization, and even hinted that the Attorney General recused himself from the Russia investigation for reasons beyond those he gave publicly.

Comey set the scene in a statement released the day before the hearing - describing a tense situation on Feb. 14 where the president dismissed everyone from an Oval Office meeting except for him.

“As the participants started to leave the Oval Office, the Attorney General lingered by my chair, but the President thanked him and said he wanted to speak only with me,” Comey said in his written statement.

Comey added at the hearing, “My sense was the attorney general knew he shouldn’t be leaving, which is why he was lingering.”
