The news of Attorney General Jeff Sessions' meetings last year with the Russian ambassador, contradicting his testimony during his confirmation hearing that he had no contact with the Russian government during the campaign, dominates the day. Trump says he "wasn't aware at all" of the meetings. Speaking to reporters during a tour of the USS Gerald Ford in Newport News, Va., the president says he still had "total" confidence in his attorney general. Later that afternoon, Session recuses himself from the Russia investigation.
