House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Wednesday called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign after it was reported that he failed to disclose contacts he had with the Russian government when questioned during his confirmation hearing. The Washington Post reported that the then-senator, a leading supporter of Donald Trump for president, spoke with Russia's ambassador to the United States twice last year.
