Former DOJ official: Sessions may have earned himself a trip to the grand jury

An official who worked at the Department of Justice under the Obama administration has said that Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recent testimony to Senate lawmakers likely "earned him a ticket to a grand jury."

"No immediate public revelation, but a red flag in front of the bull named Bob Mueller...If Sessions had a good answer about conversations with Trump about firing [former FBI Director] Comey, he would've just given it," Matt Miller reportedly told Axios in an email.

Mueller is the special counsel appointed to lead the investigation into Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.

Miller added in his message that "Sessions can probably get out of ever giving the answer to a Republican Congress, but my guess is his performance earned him a ticket to a grand jury."
