Family Research Council President Tony Perkins released a statement on Wednesday commending Sessions as "a friend and an ally in the effort to defend religious freedom."

"We applauded his work in implementing President Trump's executive order on religious freedom. We fully anticipate the next attorney general to carry on this important work of defending religious freedom in America," said Perkins.

Perkins added that he and his socially conservative organization were "grateful for Jeff's long and faithful service to our country."
