First on CNN: Sources: Congress investigating another possible Sessions-Kislyak meeting

Washington (CNN)Congressional investigators are examining whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions had an additional private meeting with Russia's ambassador during the presidential campaign, according to Republican and Democratic Hill sources and intelligence officials briefed on the investigation.

Investigators on the Hill are requesting additional information, including schedules from Sessions, a source with knowledge tells CNN. They are focusing on whether such a meeting took place April 27, 2016, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC, where then-candidate Donald Trump was delivering his first major foreign policy address. Prior to the speech, then-Sen. Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak attended a small VIP reception with organizers, diplomats and others.

In addition to congressional investigators, the FBI is seeking to determine the extent of interactions the Trump campaign team may have had with Russia's ambassador during the event as part of its broader counterintelligence investigation of Russian interference in the election. The FBI is looking into whether there was an additional private meeting at the Mayflower the same day, sources said. Neither Hill nor FBI investigators have yet concluded whether a private meeting took place -- and acknowledge that it is possible any additional meeting was incidental.

He is not qualified to be Attorney General and proceedings should begin to remove him from office.

just for being the lying POS that he is . .

if true, then it appears that the top law enforcement official of the land may have committed perjury over a second Russian encounter.

I'm pretty sure when he lied under oath they found out about 3 meetings, so that would make this Russian spy meeting #4 for Sessions.

Of course I could be wrong, there have been so many Russian spy meetings with top trump officials it's really hard to keep up
