Lindsey Graham Says Senate Republicans Will Refuse To Seat Joe Biden’s AG Pick — If Trump Will Face Criminal Investigation
Speaking on Fox News, Lindsey Graham admitted that, under the Biden Administration, Senate Republicans can be counted on to renew the level of obstruction they carried out under President Barack Obama. In fact, he specifically said that if Joe Biden nominates an Attorney General who will investigate Donald Trump for criminal acts in office, Republicans will refuse to seat that person.

Graham quickly turned the question into a commercial for the two Georgia Republican Senate candidates, but along the way, he made it very clear that Senate Republicans’ first priority in confirming an Attorney General would not be whether the person is qualified for the job, but whether they could protect Donald Trump. Graham’s insistence on involving himself in Georgia’s elections has already raised questions.
Regardless of what protections Trump may have at the Federal level, including pardons and Senate obstruction, he could face charges and criminal proceedings at the state level for financial crimes alleged against him, and civil suits against him can proceed.
