Lindsey Graham, one of the Senate GOP's leading proponents of a select committee to investigate Russian meddling in the election, won't be taking over a new cybersecurity panel to investigate the issue.

Graham's "not going to chair the cyber panel. We’re going by seniority," the Arizona lawmaker told POLITICO.
