Yeah, here's an explanation I saw on reddit (thank you u/SudsyPalliation)

Important to note that Sessions used his own senate re-election campaign funds and it doesn't seem that the Trump campaign reimbursed him. However, the meaty portion explains that if Sessions was there for the purpose of fulfilling his duties as a senator he should have used the funds available to senators for that purpose. He didn't because he was there for political purposes and knew it would look bad to use those funds. He also wasn't up for re-election this year so any claim he was there for his own re-election would be dubious. 


So his claim that he was only there as a senator and not as a Trump surrogate is {explitive}. So he was speaking to the Russian ambassador as a Trump surrogate and according to a white house staffer did discuss the election. So he lied to congress during his confirmation hearing. That's perjury and he should resign and be investigated for criminal charges.
