Sen. Lindsey Graham today brushed back President Trump’s pleas to haul in Barack Obama for testimony about the origins of the Russia probe and the FBI’s handling of the investigation into Michael Flynn
Sen. Lindsey Graham on Thursday brushed back President Donald Trump’s pleas for the Judiciary Committee chairman to haul in former President Barack Obama for testimony about the origins of the Russia investigation and the FBI’s handling of the investigation into Michael Flynn.
“If I were a Senator or Congressman, the first person I would call to testify about the biggest political crime and scandal in the history of the USA, by FAR, is former President Obama,” Trump. “He knew EVERYTHING. Do it @LindseyGrahamSC , just do it. No more Mr. Nice Guy. No more talk!” “I’m very, very sensitive to the separation of powers, executive branch — we do have oversight of it as Congress, appropriate oversight,” Graham said. “But hauling a former president before an oversight committee, I don’t think that’s been done before. And presidentially, I’d be careful what I wish for.”
He added that both Trump and Obama are welcome to come before his committee. “If nothing else, it would make for great television,” he said. “However, I have great doubts about whether it would be wise for the country.”
