Representative Karen Bass, a Democrat of California, pressed former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski on why he didn't want to leave a "paper trail" of his meeting with then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Lewandowski said it was because he wanted to "speak with Jeff in a more relaxed atmosphere." During the hearing, Lewandowski confirmed that President Trump wanted Sessions to say publicly that the president "should not have a special prosecutor in the Russia investigation because he hasn't done anything wrong."
