NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions held a closed-door meeting with state and local law enforcement officers during an unannounced visit to South Carolina.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reports that Sessions visited North Charleston Thursday afternoon as a guest of Republican U.S Sen. Tim Scott.
Scott said after the meeting he and Sessions talked about parallels between the fatal violence that erupted in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend and the attack that left nine people dead at Charleston’s Emanuel AME Church in June 2015.
Scott says the main purpose of the meeting with Sessions was to talk about law enforcement.
Sessions spoke earlier Thursday in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to several hundred law officers investigating gangs across the Carolinas.
