Attorney General Jeff Sessions pauses during a news conference at the Justice Department in Washington where he said he would recuse himself from a federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 White House election on March 2, 2017. The political cloud over Sessions’ decision to step back from any investigation touching the Trump campaign may have a silver lining for a law enforcement officer who appears preoccupied by issues such as violent crime. Now that Sessions will no longer oversee any probe into the election, his path is cleared to more quickly refashion the Justice Department and chip away at key priorities of the Obama administration.
