House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Sen.
Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts were among those who called for the attorney general to step down.
Top Democrats issued demands for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to immediately resign late Wednesday following news that he met with the Russian ambassador to the U.
S.
during the 2016 presidential campaign.
And in a statement, Rep.
Elijah Cummings, D-Maryland, said, "Attorney General Sessions should resign immediately, and there is no longer any question that we need a truly independent commission to investigate this issue.
"While some Democrats were calling on Sessions to resign, other lawmakers intensified demands that a special prosecutor be named to lead an investigation into ties between Russian officials and Trump campaign aides.
"Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign," Pelosi said in a statement.
