US Attorney General Jeff Sessions is testifying under oath right now in front of the House Judiciary Committee, where he will likely be discussing his contacts with Russians during the presidential campaignโ€”and whether he has accurately described those contacts in the past.

Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal is the only House member from Washington on the committee, and as of this Facebook posting last night, she looks thrilled to be able ask Sessions some questions.

Jayapal, as you might remember, filed a “resolution of inquiry” earlier this year to try and get the White House to turn over information about former FBI director Jim Comey’s firingโ€”the first step, Jayapal said, to get the House Judiciary Committee to consider allegations of obstruction of justice from the Trump administration.

Each committee member gets five minutes to question Sessions directly.
