UPDATE (Feb. 8, 2017, 8:14 a.m.): According to the Washington Examiner, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said that his meeting with Donald Trump's pick for attorney general, Jeff Sessions, was "the best reception we've ever had", as he met with Sessions along with other law enforcement leaders.

The Examiner goes on to say that Youngblood believes this relationship with Sessions is already stronger than his previous relationships with attorney generals.

"We had no relationship with the former attorney general - none," Youngblood told the Examiner. "We've had more of a relationship today (with Sessions) than we've ever had."
