Gov't Transparency Group to All U.S. Senators: Disclose Your Ambassador Meetings Over Last 3 Years
(CNSNews.com) -- Given the media scrutiny and harsh criticism by some congressmen of Senator Jeff Session's (R-Ala.) -- now Attorney General Sessions -- two meetings with the Russian ambassador in 2016, and that U.S. senators regularly meet with ambassadors as part of their job, a government accountability group is calling on all senators to disclose the ambassador meetings they had over the last three years.
In a statement released today, Matthew G. Whitaker, the executive director of the Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust [1](FACT), said, “Attorney General Sessions correctly stated that meeting with ambassadors to the United States from other countries was part his job as a U.S. senator. He said he met with two dozen ambassadors in 2016 and actually met with the Ukrainian ambassador the day before he met with the Russian ambassador."
