Attorney General Jeff Sessions reportedly now admits that he was aware of George Papadopouloss efforts to arrange meetings between the Trump campaign and Russia a seemingly direct contradiction of sworn testimony he gave to the Senate.
Sources tell NBC News that Sessions now remembers rejecting a proposal by Papadopoulos to set up a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian, appearing on MSNBC Thursday afternoon, explained that this was significant because he testified under oath that he was aware of no discussions with Russians, at least concerning collusion in the election.
Dilanian then reported that many in Congress now want Sessions to come back and clarify his testimony which would mark the third time that Sessions has had to amend his recollections of known contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

Ex-federal prosecutor: Funny how a federal investigation suddenly sharpened Jeff Sessions’ memory

Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti told MSNBC on Thursday that he’s not entirely surprised that Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions suddenly was able to recall a forgotten meeting he took with President Donald Trump and arrested Trump 2016 adviser George Papadopoulos.
“It’s interesting how federal criminal investigations tend to sharpen one’s memory,” Mariotti said.
Mariotti and MSNBC national security correspondent Ken Dilanian were speaking to anchor Katy Tur about Sessions suddenly being able to recall a meeting that was revealed this week in court documents unsealed by special counsel Bob Mueller as part of the ongoing Russia probe.
Dilanian said that “congressional investigators now want to call Sessions back” to clarify his previous statements.
