The U.S. Senate's 2017 confirmation process for President Trump's Cabinet. It forensically reveals the ethics, beliefs and philosophy behind four key Cabinet figures: Rex Tillerson, the former CEO of Exxon, now Secretary of State responsible for America's foreign policy; Attorney-General Jeff Sessions, a leading campaigner for the President and now his chief law officer; Dr Tom Price, a strident critic of Obamacare now Health Secretary and Scott Pruitt, a climate change sceptic confirmed as Director of the Environmental Protection Agency.The appointment of these men will have huge implications. They will lead the administration's policy on Russia, the Middle East, Iran and North Korea, on human rights worldwide, on the Paris Climate control agreement, as well as on the civil rights and the health of millions of Americans.

The contentious confirmation hearings of Trump’s pick for US Attorney General, Senator Jeff Sessions, barely opened the can of worms regarding Sessions’ indifference toward allegations of summary executions of poor black victims in southwest Alabama during his term of office as federal attorney for Southern Alabama. During his two years Assistant US Attorney for the Southern District of Alabama (1975) and his twelve years as US Attorney for the same district, Sessions was accused of demeaning his black associates, expressing hostility toward civil rights organizations and rights workers, and ignoring complaints by black citizens who had been blocked from voting in their rural counties. Sessions oversaw the executions of mentally and cognitively disabled people, and he supported grossly unequal distribution of public funds, favoring private white schools over predominately black public schools. What has not been addressed, however, are the reports by local civil rights workers and local witnesses of post–civil rights era “lynchings” of black martyrs in southwest Alabama from the late 1960s into the 1980s. The article is based on my and my civil rights colleagues’ investigative research work that accidentally and serendipitously led us to three cases of likely death squad-like attacks in southwest Alabama in the late 1970s and 1980s. The article also addresses the stigma of place and its impact on the people who live in communities that are seen as backwater or as lacking in cultural or symbolic capital, such as Trump’s early upbringing in Queens, New York City, and Jeff Sessions’ upbringing in Camden, Alabama.

Seventy six doctors-along with 89 other licensed healthcare professionals, including pharmacists and nurses-were among 601 people charged with healthcare fraud in a coordinated operation across the United States, the justice department has announced. Attorney general Jeff Sessions, pointing to his announcement last July of over 400 arrests, including 56 doctors, said, \"We are breaking records again by announcing the largest healthcare fraud takedown operation in American history.\" A report published last week by the health department's inspector general found that about 460000 patients on Medicare's drug plan took large amounts of opioids in 2017.

Another five year longitudinal analysis, this time of opioid prescriptions covered by Medicaid from 2011 to 2016, found a similar pattern. 2 State implementation of medical marijuana laws was associated with a 5.88% lower rate of opioid prescribing (-11.55%to -0.21%). Jeff Sessions, US attorney general, vociferously opposes legalization but recently said that his agents would concentrate on smugglers and criminal gangs instead of retail providers in states with legal marijuana. Insys Therapeutics, whose founder and six former executives are facing trial for paying kickbacks to doctors to prescribe their fentanyl product Subsys, spent $500000 (£355000; €407000) in 2016 successfully opposing a ballot measure to legalize recreational marijuana in the company's home state of Arizona.

This article examines the questioning of US Attorney General Jeff Sessions by Senators Angus King and Kamala Harris during a congressional hearing. Analyses of the two exchanges, grounded in conversation analytic (CA) methodology, reveal that simultaneous and near-simultaneous talk initiated by the senators is pervasive in both exchanges. However, Sessions does ‘being interrupted’ (Hutchby 1996; Bilmes 1997)—that is, displays an orientation toward his interlocutors’ turns as a violation of his speaking rights—three times more often when he is questioned by Harris rather than King. The discrepancy in Sessions’ handling of the senators’ turns may explain why Harris is sanctioned by two colleagues during her questioning and why commentators have characterized her as aggressive and interruptive, while at the same time lauding (or ignoring) King. These findings ultimately suggest that doing being interrupted may influence how others perceive an interaction and those participating in it.

Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) on Sept. 17 asked President Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski about interactions with the Justice Department.

\"Enough is enough,\" Olson told the local newspaper, Community Impact. \"Since I have been in Congress, every time an issue arises concerning Shiloh's poor care of undocumented children, Shiloh puts up a brick wall.\" On 26 June, Dana Sabraw, a US district court judge, ordered the government to reunite children and families within 30 days, but the government said that it would respond by detaining the families together. A federal court ruling on 2 July ordered the government to immediately release or grant hearings to more than 1000 asylum seekers who had been jailed for months or years without review.

Former attorney general Jeff Sessions is campaigning against political newcomer Tommy Tuberville for the chance to reclaim his Senate seat representing Alabama in a runoff election on July 14.
