WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today made this statement on the confirmation of U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney General of the United States.

“I’m very pleased the Senate has confirmed Jeff Sessions as our new Attorney General. However, I’m also very disappointed in the way he was treated by his Democratic colleagues and outside special interest groups.

“Jeff Sessions is a decent, honorable and highly qualified man who will serve the President and country well as our Attorney General.”
