Kate McKinnon Brought Back Her Jeff Sessions Impression to Hilariously Reenact His Senate Hearing  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Jun 14, 2017 7:11 PM UTC  by [Megan McCluskey](https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/)  ## Megan McCluskey Staff Writer Jun 14, 2017 7:11 PM UTC Following [Jeff Sessions’ Tuesday hearing](http://time.com/4816993/jeff-sessions-testimony-russia-collusion/) before the [Senate Intelligence Committee](http://time.com/4817047/jeff-sessions-testimony-mark-warner-transcript/), [Kate McKinnon](http://time.com/4691266/snl-jeff-sessions-forrest-gump-kate-mckinnon/) revived her _Saturday Night Live_ impression of the Attorney General to hilariously spoof his testimony. During an appearance on _Late Night_, McKinnon revealed that Sessions is her favorite member of the Trump administration to portray — sorry, Kellyanne Conway — before giving her take on his answers to the Senate’s questions. “‘Oath’ is such a strong word. Now when I said ‘oath’ I thought I was saying ‘oats’ in one of those lispy Barcelona accents,” she deadpanned with her signature mouth curl. “With \[Russian Ambassador\] Sergey Kislyak, I only met him two times. OK, three times. But the third time was in a men’s restroom, and we was just talking about what a trial it is to get soap out of those electric soap dispensers.” Watch the full clip above. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4818645/kate-mckinnon-jeff-sessions-impression-hearing/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4818645/kate-mckinnon-jeff-sessions-impression-hearing/"},"headline":"'Recuse Me.'
