Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Tuesday testified that there is “nothing wrong” about conversations taking place between the president and the director of the FBI.

“Did Director Comey ever express additional discomfort with conversations that the President might’ve had with him? Because he had two additional meetings and I think a total of six phone calls,” Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC), the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked Sessions, referring to fired FBI head James Comey.

“That is correct. There’s nothing wrong with the President having the communication with the FBI director,” Sessions replied. “What is problematic for any Department of Justice employee is to talk to any Cabinet persons or White House officials, high officials, about ongoing investigations that are not properly cleared through the top levels of the Department of Justice.”
