		</div><p>US attorney general Jeff Sessions is to provide amended evidence on Monday regarding his contacts with Russia&#8217;s ambassador during the presidential election.</p>
<p>Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said Mr Sessions will also respond to questions raised by Democratic senators.</p>
<p>The nine Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee had asked that Mr Sessions appear again before the committee to discuss the subject. They said significant questions remain unanswered.</p>
<p>The committee&#8217;s Republican chairman Chuck Grassley rejected the request.<br />
Mr Sessions has recused himself from any probe that examines communications between President Donald Trump&#8217;s aides and Moscow.</p>
<p>His decision came after revelations that he spoke twice with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign and failed to say so despite questioning from Congress.</p>
<p>Mr Trump has accused Democrats of conducting a &#8220;witch hunt&#8221; in their criticism of Mr Sessions.<br />
The president said the attorney general &#8220;could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Sessions rejected any suggestion that he tried to mislead anyone about his contacts with the Russian, saying: &#8220;That is not my intent. That is not correct.&#8221;</p>
<p>But he did admit he should have been more careful in his evidence during his confirmation hearing, saying: &#8220;I should have slowed down and said, &#8216;But I did meet one Russian official a couple of times&#8217;.&#8221;</p>
<p>One of the conversations with Mr Kislyak occurred at a July event on the sidelines of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland. At the same event, the ambassador also spoke with Carter Page, who briefly advised Mr Trump&#8217;s campaign on foreign policy, according to a source.</p>
