Putin’s comments came as two Democratic senators said they asked former FBI Director James Comey to investigate whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions perjured himself when he testified to Congress in January that he did not have any communications with the Russians ahead of the November election. Senators Al Franken of Minnesota and Pat Leahy of Vermont say they were expecting Comey to brief them on the matter on May 12, but say the briefing never happened because President Trump fired Comey on May 9, after Sessions and his deputy attorney general recommended Comey’s termination. Comey is scheduled to testify publicly to the Senate Intelligence Committee next Thursday.
