LANSING – The Michigan AFL-CIO issued the following statement today following news reports that Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath:
“Jeff Sessions needs to go,” said Ron Bieber, president of the Michigan AFL-CIO. “Michigan Republicans – including Bill Schuette, Jack Bergman, Tim Walberg, Mike Bishop, and Dave Trott – have a responsibility to hold Sessions accountable for lying under oath to the American people. Each one of these Republican elected officials needs to call on Sessions to resign immediately, demand that he testify under oath again about his contacts with Russian officials, and appoint a special prosecutor to launch a thorough investigation of Donald Trump’s ties to Russia. The American people deserve answers, we deserve the truth, and we deserve elected officials who will put country before party.”
