US Attorney General will recuse himself from probe into Russia Trump contacts

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions will recuse himself from any inquiry into alleged Russian interference in the US 2016 presidential election.

Calls for him to step aside from a probe- and resign completely- mounted after it emerged he had met Russia's envoy to Washington- which appeared to contradict earlier statements under oath.

U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed total confidence in his justice chief, despite the deepending scandal over his administration's alleged contact with Russia.
