In response to a FOIA request from nonprofit organization American Oversight, a U.S. District judge has ordered the Justice Department to produce Attorney General Jefferson Sessions’ SF-86 form, known as the “Questionnaire for National Security Positions.” This form should include any contact that Sessions had with foreign officials.
Sessions has come under heavy scrutiny for not saying in his confirmation hearing that he had meetings with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak in the lead up to the 2016 election. After that failure to disclose came to light, Sessions defended himself and sent supplemental testimony to the Senate.
The SF-86 form should detail every meeting with foreign nationals within seven years. Based on previous testimony, it’s expected that Sessions did not originally note the two times in which he was known to meet with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak, though those may be included in updates.
Based on last week’s testimony from James Comey as well multiple reports, it’s expected that Sessions met with Kislyak on at least one other occasion—which would represent another incident omitted from this form.
The Department of Justice has one month to produce the form or fight the order for its release.
