Sessions also hit back at Comey’s assertion he was not instructed on how to deal with Sessions’s recusal from the investigation: On the date of my formal recusal, my Chief of Staff sent an email to the heads of the relevant departments, including by name to Director Comey of the FBI, to instruct them to inform their staffs of this recusal and to advise them not to brief me or involve me in any such matters.
