Jeff Sessions, a Lifelong Outsider, Finds the Inside Track

For Sessions, that alliance has paid off in a way few ever imagined. Rejected for a federal judgeship, passed over for a crucial Senate committee chairmanship and long considered too far right to attain a Cabinet post, he has defied the odds.

"Jeff Sessions, a Lifelong Outsider, Finds the Inside Track" is from the January 08, 2017 U.S. section of The New York Times. It was written by Sharon Lafraniere and Matt Apuzzo and narrated by Kristi Burns.
