SESSIONS' GRILLING KICKS OFF

The Senate’s Russia probe will hit a new level of intensity Tuesday when Attorney General Jeff Sessions becomes the highest-ranking official to testify – in what Senate Intelligence Committee leaders confirmed will be an open hearing, in the spirit of last week’s dramatic session with James Comey. The circumstances are different for Sessions’ appearance. While Comey was a witness scorned by President Trump, and ready to dish on the leader who fired him, Sessions remains the top law enforcement official in the country, working for Trump's administration. But lawmakers – particularly Democrats – are preparing tough questions for Sessions both about Russia’s contact with Trump campaign associates and the circumstances of Comey’s firing. (SESSIONS’ HEARING BEGINS AT 2:30 PM ET – WATCH LIVE ON FOX NEWS CHANNEL AND FOXNEWS.COM)

When reached by Fox News after the remarks, Ruddy said, “while I am not claiming the president said it to me, I am confident of my sourcing. He is definitely considering it as an option.”
