Frosh Among 6 State AGs Urging Rejection Of Sessions For AG
NEW YORK (AP) — Attorneys generals from six states, including Maryland's Brian Frosh, have sent a letter urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to reject the nomination of Sen. Jeff Sessions for attorney general.
In the letter dated Jan. 17, the prosecutors said they had "grave concern" that Session would "diligently and fairly enforce all laws protective of civil rights, public safety, health and welfare."
The letter said Sessions made bigoted statements in the past, rejected sensible, criminal justice policy reforms, and badly managed his office during his tenure as Alabama Attorney General.
Attorneys General Ellen Rosenblum of Oregon, New York's Eric Schneiderman, Maura Healey of Massachusetts, Doug Chin of Hawaii and Karl Racine of the District of Columbia also signed the letter.
Sessions is expected to win confirmation in the GOP-led Senate.
