Here’s a new twist on the ongoing saga of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his repeated meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign, which he lied about under oath. Both Sessions and Kislyak were scheduled to attend the same public event on Saturday. That’s not suspicious, as they would have been two out of thousands of attendees. Here’s what’s odd: Sessions and Kislyak have both canceled on that event – and Sessions hopped a plane to Trump’s Florida home.

Jeff Sessions and Sergey Kislyak were both supposed to have attended the Gridiron Dinner on Saturday in Washington, DC. But Sessions was called to Mar-a-Lago at the last minute, for some kind of pow wow which included Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and the White House counsel. The fallout from that meeting is not yet known. But the last minute change of plans of the Russian Ambassador, at the same time Sessions changed his plans, raises the question of why.

The most innocent explanation would be that, amid increasing scrutiny, Sergey Kislyak simply decided that he didn’t want to be seen in public today or risk being asked questions about the Trump-Russia scandal by anyone in attendance at the dinner. But there is also the as of yet unsupported theory that Kislyak may have also covertly headed to Trump’s home in Florida.

On some level it’s difficult to imagine the Trump administration being brazen enough to bring the Russian Ambassador to Mar-a-Lago under the current circumstances. They would be risking the public or media finding out that Kislyak was there, which would make everyone involved look guilty. But then again, this is the same Trump camp that’s spent the past year secretly meeting with Kislyak and then lying about it.

The Hill is reporting that Sergey Kislyak canceled on the Gridiron Dinner at the last minute, and separately reporting that Jeff Sessions headed to Mar-a-Lago at the last minute. John Harwood of CNBC is confirming that Sessions was also supposed to have been at the dinner. Connect the dots: are they now having dinner together in Florida? Contribute to Palmer Report
