Sessions: Russia allegations 'unbelievable'

INVESTIGATION.
CHRIS?
>> SUNLEN, THANK YOU.
ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS
SPEAKING OUT JUST MOMENTS AGO
OUTSIDE HIS HOME.
HERE IS WHAT HE TOLD NBC ABIOUT
THE ALLEGATIONS.
>> I HAVE NOT MET WITH ANY
RUSSIANS AT ANY TIME TO DISCUSS
ANY POLITICAL CAMPAIGN, AND
THOSE REMARKS ARE UNBELIEVABLE
TO ME AND ARE FALSE.
I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO
SAY ABOUT THAT.
>> IT'S NOT SAYING HE NEVER HAD
CONTACT.
THAEBS WHAT HE SAID TO SENATOR
FRANKEN.
HE'S SAYING SPECIFICALLY THAT
THE CONTEXT WAS DRIVING HIS
ANSWER, IT WASN'T ABOUT THE
CAMPAIGN.
WILL THAT HOLD UP.
LET'S DISCUSS WITH REPUBLICAN
CONGRESSMAN TOM COLE OF
OKLAHOMA.
DOES THAT PUT IT TO BED FOR YOU,
WHAT YOU HEARD FROM JEFF
SESSIONS?
>> IT ABSOLUTELY DOES.
I THINK THE HYSTERIA, THE
DESPERATION ON THE PART OF
DEMOCRATS IS ALMOST LAUGHABLE.
THE IDEA THAT SOMEHOW JEFF
SESSIONS WAS CONSPIRING WITH THE
RUSSIANS TO IMPACT THE ELECTION
IS SIMPLY AN UNBELIEVABLE
FICTION.
SO, YEAH, I THINK IT'S PRETTY
MUCH A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.
>> LET'S NOT GET AHEAD OF THE
IMPLICATIONS.
SOMETIMES THAT MAKES IT EASIER
TO DISMISS THE SHORTER
QUESTIONS, WHICH IS, HE WAS
ASKED A QUESTION ABOUT WHETHER
HE HAD ANY CONTACT WITH RUSSIAN
OFFICIALS AND HE SAID NO TWICE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
THAT MEANS NOTHING TO YOU?
>> NO, IT WASN'T, FRANKLY.
I THINK HE UNDERSTOOD THAT
QUESTION TO BE DID YOU TALK TO
SOMEBODY ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN.
LOOK, IT'S NOT UNUSUAL FOR A
UNITED STATES SENATOR OR EVEN
LOWLY CONGRESSMEN TO MEET WITH
AMBASSADORS.
I DO IT ALL THE TIME.
WE DON'T USUALLY TALK ABOUT
ANYTHING TO DEAL WITH CAMPAIGNS.
WE USUALLY TALK ABOUT RELATIONS
BETWEEN OUR RESES
