KING: Today is proof that timing is everything in politics. Jeff Sessions. Sessions looking to become the comeback kid, or you might say that Senator. CNN is told he will file papers to run for his old Senate seat Alabama now held by Democrat Doug Jones. The filing deadline is tomorrow but CNN is told Sessions plan to submit that paper work today which just happens to be one year to the day that Sessions was forced out of his job as Attorney General. Sessions will be joining a crowded Republican primary and risking the isle of the President who once called the AG appointment "His biggest mistake". CNN's Jeff Zeleny is in New Hampshire today for another big candidacy filing but he is also working the Sessions story. Jeff, what are you hearing about the timing here and the big question has he chatted with his former boss about the campaign?</s>JEFF ZELENY, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Well John, as far as we know, Jeff Sessions has not advised the White House or talked to President Trump about this at all, and that of course is not surprising. The two men are not exactly on speaking terms. You're right the timing of this is certainly interesting. This is Jeff Sessions' choice to make this announcement later today, we're told. He's going to jump into that Republican primary. His future is in some degree in the President's hands but the reason I'm here in New Hampshire Vice President Mike Pence was just signing the official paperwork for the Trump/Pence campaigns to be on the New Hampshire ballot here. And the Vice President was asked if he planned to jump in or campaign for his long-time friend Jeff Sessions. He said we will let the people of Alabama decide this race.
