On 9th February, the US Senate finally confirms Senator Jeff Sessions as the new attorney general after a series of obstacles against his appointment.
Sessions who was faced with criticisms over his poor civil rights records and series of racism accusations was confirmed after he won the vote of the Senate 52-47.
Sessions speaking after his confirmation said, "This caricature of me from 1986 was not correct". He went further to share his thoughts concerning the discrimination of the African-American brothers and sisters in the past.
Senator Jeff (70) who is from Alabama, will serve as the 84th US attorney general. With reactions from social media, it seems Sessions shares the same immigration ban idea with Donald Trump who he has always voiced his support.
