Sessions was the first Senator to endorse Trump. He is big supporter of Trump's immigration proposals and advised him on the issue throughout the campaign.

Before serving as a Senator in 1997, he was the Attorney General of Alabama. He was once nominated by Reagan to be a federal judge, but a GOP senate never confirmed the appointment after racist allegations came out surrounding him.

Quote:black former deputy, Thomas Figures, accused him of making racially insensitive statements. Figures said that Sessions had once warned him to be careful about what he said to "white folks."

Figures, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in Alabama, also testified that during a 1981 murder investigation tied to the Ku Klux Klan, Sessions commented that he "used to think they [the KKK] were OK" until he found out some were "pot smokers." Sessions claimed he had been joking.

Session brings experience to the role and a passion and loyalty for Trump's policies, but, like Bannon, he also brings racist baggage with him. He is also known for his opposition to gay rights. His nomination suggests Guilianni will most likely be a candidate for Secretary of State (though Romney's name is being floated for that).
