Pence says Sessions' answer to the Senate Judiciary Committee while under oath was "clearly unintentional.''
Pence says Sessions could have answered the question more clearly. He says Sessions "corrected the record appropriately, and we're just very confident in his ability to lead this agency and respect his decision to recuse himself.''
