A White House official says the White House didn't know that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had twice met with the Russian ambassador during the presidential campaign until the story broke last night. White House aides have repeatedly denied any contact between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Translated: Trump isn’t going to defend Sessions. Sessions is on his own. He's going to be hung out to dry.
