Interfaith Clergy Call for the Immediate Resignation of Jeff Sessions as Attorney General

WASHINGTON, D.C. — On Friday, March 3rd, a diverse and prominent group of interfaith clergy and community leaders will hold a press conference outside of the Department of Justice to call for the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, who misled the Senate during his confirmation hearings by failing to disclose contacts with the Russian Ambassador.

WHERE: Robert F. Kennedy DOJ Building, corner of 9th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20530
