If you actually look at the entire transcript of that particular hearing, the vast majority was Sessions answering questions about a questionnaire he had submitted. In that questionnaire was a question asking if Sessions had met with Russian officials and discussed the campaign. He gave a one-word answer "No." Later on Franken asked him a word-salad question talking about that Buzzfeed/CNN pissplay story, and Sessions answer is to a particular part of that question and not "Did you ever talk to Russian officials". Really, once you read the transcript it is a big ball of nothing. Sessions was never asked if he had past contacts with Russian officials. That is the lie that the WaPo and NYT stories make by omitting nearly all the context.
