Kevin Lamarque/Reuters Jeff Sessions.Jeff Sessions, one of President Donald Trump's most controversial cabinet picks, is up for a Senate vote on Wednesday to be confirmed as Attorney General.
Sessions' confirmation process turned into a long, bitter fight that culminated in an all-nighter at the Senate on Tuesday, during which Democrats spoke out against the Alabama senator and highlighted their opposition to his record and views.
Democrats fear that any progress the Obama administration may have made on issues from immigration to criminal justice reform will quickly be reverted by a Sessions-led Justice Department.
