The US Senate confirmed&nbsp;Jeff Sessions as attorney general Wednesday, despite vitriolic debate over his civil rights record and whether he can serve as the nation&#39;s top law enforcement officer independent from President Donald Trump.

Lawmakers greenlighted Senator Sessions as the 84th US attorney general on a mostly party-line vote of 52 to 47, with just one Democrat, Joe Manchin of West Virginia&nbsp;joining the Republican majority. Sessions voted present, and when the tally was announced many senators broke into extended applause for their colleague.

Manchin&#39;s daughter is the CEO of <a href="http://time.com/4475626/epipen-price-pharmaceutical-crisis/" target="_blank">Mylan</a>, the pharmaceutical company being investigated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for&nbsp;creating legislation that expanded the availability of their product,&nbsp;EpiPens, or epinephrine injectors. Manchin was the lone Democrat to approve&nbsp;Sessions, and now Sessions will control the Justice Department investigating his daughter.

US Senate confirms Sessions as attorney general

US President-elect Donald Trump&#39;s nominee for the post of attorney general has assured lawmakers of taking steps towards pushing legislative measures to curb misuse of H-1B and L1 work visas significantly used by Indian IT professionals and allegedly replace American workers.

&quot;It&#39;s simply wrong to think that we&#39;re in a totally open world and that any American with a job can be replaced if somebody in the world is willing to take a job for less pay,&quot; Senator Jeff Sessions told members of Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing for the position of US attorney general.

&quot;We have borders. We have a commitment to our citizens and you have been a champion of that. I&#39;ve been honoured to work with you on it,&quot; Sessions said in response to a question from Senator Charles Grassley, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. 
In the past both Sessions and Grassley have worked together to bring legislations on H-1B visas that badly hit Indian IT companies.

Sessions is a staunch conservative&nbsp;with a controversial history.&nbsp;

<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/trumps-ag-nominee-sessions-questioned-by-senate-committee-as-protesters-shout-wear-kkk-hoods-11125">Yesterday, Sessions</a> said in a senate hear that allegations that he harboured sympathies toward the Ku Klux Klan, a violent white supremacist organisation, were false. &quot;I abhor the Klan and what it represents and its hateful ideology,&quot; Sessions said in his opening remarks.

The Office of Special Counsel for immigration related unfair employment practices is an office within the Justice Department which would be headed by Sessions if he is confirmed by the US Senate. The Office enforces the anti-discrimination provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act.

&quot;While the office is designed to protect foreign nationals with employment visas from discrimination, it is also charged with ensuring that American workers are not discriminated against in the workplace. Many US workers advocate that the layoff of American workers and the replacement by cheaper, foreign, H-1B workers constitutes de facto nationality based discrimination against American workers,&quot; Grassley said.

&quot;The Obama administration has failed to protect American workers here. Will you, this is my question, will you be more aggressive in investigating the abuses of these visa programmes?&quot; he asked. &quot;I believe this has been an abuse. And I have been pleased to support your legislation and some others too, that others have produced that I believe could be helpful. It needs to be addressed,&quot; Sessions said.

Describing Sessions as a vocal champion for American workers, Grassley said many American workers are being laid off and replaced by cheaper foreign labour imported through some of the US visa programmes.

Sessions, Grassley and Senator Dick Durbin in the past had co-sponsored a bill that would reform H-1B visa programmes by ensuring that qualified American workers are considered for high skilled job opportunities before those jobs can be offered to foreign nationals.

&quot;It also prohibit a company from hiring H-1B employees if they employ more than 50 people and more than 50 per cent of their employees are H-1B or L-1 visa holders,&quot; he said.&nbsp;

Viola Davis grabbed best supporting actress for &quot;Fences,&quot;&nbsp;the screen adaptation of August Wilson&#39;s play.

Accepting the award, Davis said, &quot;It&#39;s not every day that Hollywood thinks of translating a play to screen &mdash;&nbsp;it doesn&#39;t scream &#39;moneymaker&#39;. But it does scream art, and it does scream heart.&quot;

In a surprise win, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was named best supporting actor for his role in &quot;Nocturnal Animals&quot;&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;a prize that was expected to go to Mahershala Ali for &quot;Moonlight.&quot;

Sikh body to US senators: Ensure prosecution of hate crimes during Trump presidency

President-elect Donald Trump has picked three hardliners to be in-charge of some of the topmost national security and judicial posts of the country.

Senator Jeff Sessions has been nominated to be the attorney general; Mike Pompeo will head the CIA; and, Michael Flynn will be Trump&#39;s national security advisor.

The selection was predictably lauded by the Republicans and assailed by the Democrats for being too hawkish.

&ldquo;The president-elect is a man of action, and we&rsquo;ve got a great number of men and women with great qualifications who look forward to serving in this administration,&rdquo; Vice President-elect Mike Pence told reporters in New York, Washington Post reported.

&quot;I enthusiastically embrace President-elect Trump&#39;s vision for &#39;one America&#39;,&nbsp;and his commitment to equal justice under law,&quot; said Sessions, a 20-year veteran of Congress.

Trump described Sessions&nbsp;as having a &quot;world-class legal mind&quot;.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Jeff is greatly admired by legal scholars and virtually everyone who knows him,&rdquo; Trump said.

Anti-immigration Senator Sessions&#39; nomination underscores and calcifies Trump&#39;s hard stance against illegal immigrants on the country.

Sessions has in the past made comments that can be construed as racist.

Back in 1986, Sessions said that a prominent white lawyer was a &quot;disgrace to his race&quot; for defending African-Americans.

He also reportedly joked about the Ku Klux Klan, saying he had thought its members were &quot;OK, until I found out they smoked pot.&quot;

Sessions has also been a fiery opponent to immigration, waging war on efforts to pass comprehensive immigration reform through Congress in 2007 and 2013.

Congressman Mike Pompeo said he was honoured to have got the post.

Pompeo has been&nbsp;a critic of the Iran nuclear deal, which has been viewed by political analysts on the left to be one of outgoing President Barack Obama&#39;s top achievement during his second tenure. &nbsp;

Deeper controversy surrounds Trump&#39;s national security adviser Flynn, 57, who is set to play an influential role in shaping policy for a president with no experience in government or diplomacy, including how to contend with an increasingly aggressive Russia. Flynn raised eyebrows when he traveled to Moscow and dined alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And he has refused to rule out enhanced interrogation techniques like waterboarding, which have been described as torture and which Trump repeatedly condoned while campaigning.

Flynn&#39;s hardline stance on Islamic extremism has rankled many. In February, he tweeted that &quot;fear of Muslims is rational&quot;.

He is highly respected as a decorated military intelligence officer who helped combat insurgent networks. But President Barack Obama fired him as head of the Defense Intelligence Agency in 2014 following complaints about his leadership style.

Flynn&#39;s appointment does not need approval from the Senate.

But that of Sessions as attorney general does.
