| https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/grassley-statement-sessions-nomination-be-attorney-general | Grassley Statement on Sessions Nomination to be Attorney General | 2016-12-13 | 2016 | 2016-12 | Republican | House | IA | Charles Grassley | G000386 | www.grassley.senate.gov | legacy | Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley released the following statement regarding the nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to be Attorney General.“The materials provided to the committee by Senator Sessions are in large part public documents that anyone can find on his official Senate website. It’s information that’s been publicly available, in some instances, for twenty years. In fact, only a small percentage of the material was not already publicly available. As the committee members know, Attorney General Holder supplemented his questionnaire multiple times with, literally, hundreds of additions and clarifications, including one update more than a year after he was confirmed. And, most importantly, his hearing remained on schedule. So, any suggestion that a nominee’s good faith efforts to locate and produce responsive material is cause for delay begins to look like a call for delay for delay’s sake, rather than a thorough review of a colleague’s character and qualifications. I look forward to hearing from Senator Sessions on Jan. 10.” -30- | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
