Former U.S. Senator from Alabama (1997-2017) and 84th U.S. Attorney General (2017-2018) under President Donald Trump.
Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation in 2017 but oversaw the DOJ during a period when the agency was litigating against Epstein victims under the Crime Victims' Rights Act. In August 2025, the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Sessions for a deposition as part of its probe into the DOJ's handling of the Epstein case, citing his tenure as one of seven former attorneys general whose departments were involved in key decisions during the investigation and prosecution timeline. Sessions responded to the committee in a letter dated August 28, 2025.
Named on the DOJ February 2026 list of 305 politically exposed persons.
