Attorney General Jeff Sessions declined to confirm or deny whether or not the Justice Department is investigating if Russian payments to the Clintons improperly influenced a decision by the Obama administration to approve a Russian takeover of a U.S. uranium mine.

In response to questioning by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R., Iowa) during a Wednesday Judiciary Committee hearing, Sessions said only that the Justice Department would "take such actions as is appropriate."

"Mr. Chairman, we will hear your concerns. The Department of Justice will take such actions as is appropriate, I know," Sessions said, noting that "some people involved have gone to jail in that transaction already."

Great!

But as far as I know the Trump justice department is still filled with Obama holdovers.  Who's going to do the review?

...hmm... not sure.  Didn't Sessions ask the remaining past administration U.S. attorney's to resign? My guess is he might appoint Rosenstein or ask Rosenstein to appoint special counsel ... only problem is Rosenstein worked under Clinton and Obama.  If that's the case, this will go absolutely nowhere.
