A CNN commentator, reacting to a story from the cable network alleging Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not disclose contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kisylak, questioned Wednesday why the diplomat was at the Republican National Convention.

Sessions first came under fire regarding Kisylak when he failed to tell the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing that he had met with the ambassador twice last year. One of those “meetings” was at an event that took place outside of the convention in Cleveland last summer.

“Remember Kislyak was also at the RNC convention. What was he doing there? So I’m a bit more skeptical as to why his name was omitted.”

It was that event that caused Yahoo News reporter Bianna Golodryga confusion.

“Remember Kislyak was also at the RNC convention,” she said. “What was he doing there? So I’m a bit more skeptical as to why his name was omitted.”

It is no mystery. The conservative Heritage Foundation hosted the event, and Sessions delivered the keynote speech. The State Department — then under the management of President Barack Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry — helped arrange for about 100 foreign ambassadors and their staffs to attend.

After his speech, Sessions exchanged pleasantries with Kislyak and several other ambassadors as he walked through the room.

Later, Sessions met with Kislyak in his Senate office.

CNN’s major scoop is that Sessions did not disclose those meetings on a form he filled out for a security clearance. CNN’s own story quotes Sessions’ spokeswoman, Sarah Isgur Flores, as saying that he initially listed a year’s worth of meetings with foreign officials but that an FBI employee assisting him told him and his staff that that he didn’t need to list dozens of meetings with foreign ambassadors that took place in his capacity as a senator.

Hans von Spakovsky, a legal analyst at the Heritage Foundation, wrote in a Fox News op-ed in March that Sessions met with more than two dozen ambassadors last year, alone.

But Golodryga was unpersuaded. She criticized Sessions and managed to take a dig at his home state as well.

“How a senator, by the way from Alabama, who probably had never met the ambassador; I don’t know,” she said. “But all of a sudden, within the last year or so, in this campaign cycle, for Russia to be discussed as heavily as it was throughout the campaign to omit meeting him.”

Golodryga did not explain why the senator’s state was relevant or why it would be less likely that an elected official from Alabama would have less of a reason to interact with foreign dignitaries. At the time, Sessions was a senior senator and a member of the Armed Services Committee.

Several CNN commentators also pointed to the failure to disclose Kislyak contacts as the reason Sessions recused himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Although the story ratcheted up pressure on Session, he never cited it as a reason for the recusal. Instead, he pointed to his role as a 2016 campaign surrogate for President Donald Trump.
