Sen. Lindsey Graham says he would be willing to subpoenaing intelligence agencies to get information related to President Trump's claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower before the election.

The South Carolina Republican responded "yes" when asked by CNN if he would subpoena for evidence.

"All I can say is that the country needs an answer to this," Graham said.
 
"The current president has accused the former president of basically wiretapping his campaign."
 
When asked if he talked with the president about his wiretapping claims, Graham said they discussed Russia.
 
"I said Russia's not our friend. They need to pay a price for interfering in our elections," Graham said. "And I think the president gets that the best way to change the world is for America to be strong."
 
Graham and Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) are requesting the Justice Department and FBI hand over any potential applications for a warrant to wiretap the Trump campaign.

"We request that the Department of Justice provide us copies of any warrant applications and court orders ... related to wiretaps of President Trump, the Trump Campaign, or Trump Tower," the two senators wrote in a letter to Dana Boente, the acting deputy attorney general, and FBI Director James Comey.
