Byrne Statement on Senator Jeff Sessions

Congressman Bradley Byrne (R-AL) issued the following statement regarding reports Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) has been tapped to serve as the U.S. Attorney General in the Trump Administration.

Byrne said: “I have known Jeff Sessions for almost 40 years, and he has always been a person of the highest level of integrity. As a U.S. Attorney in Mobile, Senator Sessions led the charge to clean up corruption in our local government. He earned respect from everyone in our community by always conducting himself in a professional and fair way.

“In the Senate, Senator Sessions has a clear track record of defending the law and advocating for a smaller, less invasive federal government. Just as important, he has always been willing to partner with other members of our Congressional delegation to support Alabama projects and priorities.

“The people of Alabama will miss the service and leadership of Jeff Sessions, but I have no doubt he will be an excellent Attorney General for the United States.”
