Sen. Lindsey Graham says an effort is underway to "shut down" Attorney General William Barr's inquiry into the origins of the Russia investigation.
A report about President Trump urging the Australian prime minister to help Barr "discredit" special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation is just the beginning, the South Carolina Republican said Monday.
"Here's what bothers me tonight. This New York Times article about Barr talking to Australia is the beginning of an effort to shut down Barr's investigation to find out how this whole thing started," Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
Republicans have alleged that foreign intelligence agencies, such as those in Western Europe, may have played a role in eavesdropping on or otherwise monitoring Trump campaign associates in 2016.
