Saying he did not intend to offer his resignation, FBI Director William Sessions nevertheless cut short a Chicago trip to meet with his boss, Attorney General Janet Reno. Neither would comment after the half-hour conference on Saturday; as Sessions left, he tripped over a curb and broke two bones in his elbow.
