Happy Tuesday, OnPolitics readers. We promise we are not going to interrupt your newsletter reading experience, because it's important to us that you finish. We don't want you to run out of time. What's going on today: Sessions. Rosenstein. Trump. Let's go. Sessions defends himself Jeff Sessions wants you to know one thing: He did not collude with the Russians.  Because how could he collude with them if he can't even remember meeting with them? So went the attorney general's testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee today. To Sessions, the fact that there's any implication that he participated in influencing the 2016 campaign is something that's "just like through the looking glass." We have to agree: None of this normal. Repeat: This is not normal. What else happened during the hearing? Sessions said he was right to participate in the firing of FBI director James Comey, who testified before the committee last week.  Oh, and Kamala Harris was interrupted. Again. Meanwhile, other congressional hearings happened today Since Sessions was pretty busy prepping for this hearing despite the fact that he can't recall a ton for it, he couldn't go to another hearing with a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. That task was left to deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein. Thanks to Sessions' recusal from all things Russia investigation-related, it's up to Rosenstein to oversee special counsel Robert Mueller as he conducts the probe. And, despite murmurs that President Trump has reportedly said he wants Mueller out,  Rosenstein said the president has not raised the topic of Mueller with him. Independent inquiries: They can exist. And where was Trump? The president headed to Wisconsin today, where he decried Obamacare, as usual. "These are sad but familiar stories in Wisconsin, where Obamacare premiums have doubled," he said . "Obamacare is one of the greatest catastrophes that our country has signed into law." Trump has long called for the repeal and replacement of Barack Obama's signature health care law. But apparently he's not a fan of the legislation that would do precisely that. He reportedly called it "mean." Never mind that he literally had a Rose Garden celebration after it passed the House.
