President Donald Trump reportedly asked Attorney General Jeff Sessions to reverse his recusal from the special counsel’s ongoing Russia investigation, The New York Times said Tuesday.

The conversation reportedly occurred in March 2017, shortly after Sessions recused himself following revelations about his contact with the Russian ambassador during the Trump campaign. Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating the incident, along with the president’s public and private attacks against Sessions, according to the Times.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, told the Times on Tuesday that the president would have been within his bounds to ask Sessions to reverse the recusal.
