US AG Sessions won't confirm special counsel for Hillary Clinton

U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions would not confirm by name that he wants to appoint a second special counsel to investigatte Hillary Clinton.

Attorney General Sessions refused to confirm specifically that Hillary Clinton could be the target of future investigations.
