Grassley: Sessions should ‘stay out of’ criminal justice debate after I helped him keep his job
By Jordain Carney - 08/02/18 01:39 PM EDT Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) warned Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday to stay out of negotiations on criminal justice reform legislation because he helped stop President Trump from firing him.
“With all that I have done to help Sessions, to keep the president from firing him, I think Sessions ought to stay out of it," Grassley, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, told reporters.
Asked how he helped Sessions, a former Judiciary Committee chairman, Grassley noted that in June 2017 "the suggestion was coming and I told the White House I don't have time to have a hearing on a new attorney general."
