WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (Mo.) released the following statement on President-elect Trump’s intention to nominate U.S. Senator Jeff Sessions (Ala.) for United States Attorney General:

“Jeff Sessions is a true friend, a respected colleague, and a dedicated public servant. I fully support Mr. Trump’s intention to nominate Sen. Sessions to be the next United States Attorney General. His work as an assistant U.S. attorney and his state’s attorney general, along with his understanding of the federal government and the Constitution that defines it, make him uniquely ready for this job. He will provide the steady leadership we need to keep our communities safe and protect the rights of all Americans, just as he has done in the Senate.”
