CNN Walks Back Jeff Sessions-Russia Bombshell

Audio By Carbonatix

CNN has quietly walked back more of their “bombshell” reporting on the Trump-Russia collusion narrative. This time it’s a story relating to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ security clearance forms.

As the Daily caller reports, in May, CNN excitedly reported that Sessions had failed to disclose meetings he had with the Russian ambassador when he was a senator.

Justice Department officials told CNN that Sessions had not listed those meetings on a security clearance form.

CNN framed the non-disclosures as more evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump team.

But at the time, Sessions said he was told by the FBI not to list meetings “connected with his Senate activities.”

On Monday, CNN finally admitted that FBI emails prove that Sessions’ explanation for the non-disclosures is accurate.
