From Yellowhammer News (March 2, 2016):

Before the official endorsement, Sessions had been hinting at his support for months. Appearing on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” last week, Sessions said Trump is well positioned to win the General Election because he is garnering support from “working Americans,” including some Democrats.

But the relationship between the two populist icons goes back much farther than this election cycle.

The first time the two met face to face was at a Senate Subcommittee hearing back in 2005. Renovations to the United Nations building in New York City were being plagued by cost overruns, missed deadlines and incompetence, and Trump had decided to come to the United States Senate to offer his services free of charge to help get the project back on track.

Sessions, who sat smiling throughout Trump’s testimony, called him a “breath of fresh air.”

During an interview on Yellowhammer Radio Wednesday, Sessions recalled the story, calling Trump’s remarks “the most impressive Congressional testimony I’ve ever heard.”

    Looking forward to watching Trump assemble his team! Will also be interesting to see the pandering amongst the Gopes and media to join the winners.
