Madam Speaker, I read from the Mueller report, volume II, page 107: ``At some point after the May 17, 2017, appointment of the special counsel, then-Attorney General Sessions recalled, the President called him at home and asked if Sessions would `unrecuse' himself. According to Sessions, the President asked him to reverse his recusal so that Sessions could direct the Department of Justice to investigate and prosecute Hillary Clinton, and the `gist' of the conversation was that the President wanted Sessions to unrecuse from `all of it,' including the special counsel's Russia investigation.'' Again, the Mueller report, volume II, page 107. ____________________
