Alabama Dems Demand Sessions’ Recusal

Democrats in Alabama want Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) out of any Judiciary Committee investigations or hearings dealing with the case of former Gov. Don Siegelman (D-AL).

The Alabama Democratic Party called for Sessions’ recusal today, pointing to a Time story that implicated the senator in an alleged political money laundering scheme that went uninvestigated by the office he used to head. The accusations came from a lobbyist who went on to become the key prosecution witness in the Siegelman case.
