“I think the best answer for me, having given it some thought, is that I should not announce that,” he told the Senate Appropriations subcommittee that oversees the Justice Department.

Sessions told the committee that the Justice Department does not generally comment on recusals or their scope. If he does not recuse himself from the case, he could have access to briefing materials and have room to voice his views on certain prosecutorial decisions.

Sessions last year recused himself from the investigation into Russia’s interference into the 2016 election, earning the ire of the president, who has frequently berated Sessions for the decision.
