In 2017, Sessions was appointed by President Donald Trump to serve as the U.S. Attorney General. During his tenure, Sessions implemented significant policy changes, such as cracking down on illegal immigration and reversing Obama-era policies on criminal justice reform. However, his tenure was marred by controversies, including his recusal from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and allegations of perjury during his Senate confirmation hearings.
Jeff Sessions' tenure as Attorney General came to an end when he resigned at the request of President Trump in November 2018. Despite his controversial tenure, Sessions remains a prominent figure in American politics, and his actions and policies continue to shape discussions and debates surrounding issues such as immigration, crime, and civil rights.
