Jeff Sessions: 'Southern racist caricature painful' - BBC News
US attorney general nominee Jeff Sessions says US can 'never go back' to discrimination of past.
Donald Trump's nominee for attorney general, Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions, has faced tough questioning about past allegations of racism during a confirmation hearing.
