U.S. Attorney General nominee Jeff Sessions said he wouldn't recuse himself from potential Justice Department investigations into the president's finances, according to a Senate Judiciary Committee questionnaire made public Monday.

Sessions, who was the first sitting senator to endorse Trump's presidential campaign and headed the campaign's national security advisory committee, faced two days of hearings earlier this month in the Judiciary Committee, and the committee is scheduled to vote on his nomination Tuesday.

"If merely being a supporter of the President's during the campaign warranted recusal from involvement in any matter involving him, then most typical presidential appointees would be unable to conduct their duties," Sessions wrote in response to a follow-up question from Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vermont. "I am not aware of a basis to recuse myself from such matters. If a specific matter arose where I believed my impartiality might reasonably be questioned, I would consult with Department ethics officials regarding the most appropriate way to proceed. As I made clear at my confirmation hearing, I will always be fair and work within the law and the established procedures of the Department."

Sessions gave a nearly identical answer as to whether he would recuse himself from investigations involving contributors to Trump's campaign or donors to Sessions' Senate campaign committee.

The Judiciary Committee is widely expected to approve Sessions' nomination and send it to the full Senate for confirmation. Alabama's junior senator is also expected to get enough votes to be confirmed as attorney general.
