“Attorney General Jeff Sessions called late Saturday for a federal investigation into the day’s racially charged violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. ‘The violence and deaths in Charlottesville strike at the heart of American law and justice,’ Sessions said. His announcement was followed Sunday by continued reaction to President Donald Trump’s statement Saturday that appeared to distribute blame for the violence among many or all those in attendance, as well as a revised White House statement.”
