Jeff Sessions impeded inquiry into role in Trump’s family separation policy

Former attorney general declined to be interviewed by DoJ's inspector general, according to report on findings of its inquiry

Former attorney general Jeff Sessions and other senior justice department officials impeded an internal departmental investigation into their role in implementing the Trump administration's hardline immigration policy that separated thousands of children from their parents on the border, according to interviews and government records.

Sessions declined to be interviewed by investigators for the department's inspector general, who conducted an inquiry of the family separation policy, according to a report made public last Thursday by the IG detailing the findings of its inquiry.
