President Barack Obama’s Department of State sponsored the July event in Ohio where Sen. Jeff Sessions met the Russian ambassador for the second time in 2016, according to the organizers of the event.
The July 20 meeting in Cleveland was used by the Washington Post’s March 1 headline to double the number of meetings where Sessions met with Russians in 2016. “Sessions met with Russian envoy twice last year, encounters he later did not disclose,” said the headline, which has created a mini-scandal as Democratic partisans push for Sessions’ resignation from his post as the nation’s Attorney General, amid Democratic claims that the Russian government helped Donald Trump win the 2016 election.
The two-day event was hosted by a civic organization, Global Cleveland, whose website cites the state department’s role:

Why does it matter if it was sponsored or not? The issue is he failed to acknowledge that it happened.
BS. It's his JOB to meet with these guys. The question was, "Was this about the Campaign?" Answer was an correct "no".
What about this don't you understand?
It's his JOB to meet with other Ambassadors of ALL countries. That's how we keep the PEACE.
It's really hard to believe the ignorance, or just plain violence of the Left.
