President Donald Trump said Thursday he has "total" confidence in Attorney General Jeff Sessions following the revelation Sessions had two meetings with the Russian ambassador last year and did not tell senators about them during his confirmation hearing.

Trump told reporters on Thursday that he "wasn't aware" of Sessions' meetings with the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak. When asked if Sessions spoke truthfully to the Senate, the president responded, "I think he probably did."
