Rep. Lindsey Graham said that Hunter Biden's work in Ukraine should be looked at
WASHINGTON - The lawmaker walking U.S. senators methodically through the case for removing President Donald Trump from office is also becoming Exhibit A in efforts by the president’s allies to defend him.
Congressional Republicans have intensified those critiques since the start of Trump’s trial this week, accusing him of misstating the evidence against the president and running a hasty and unfair investigation.Trump, who denies wrongdoing and denounces the impeachment process as a sham, joined that criticism on Thursday, calling the congressman “Shifty Schiff” and saying his presentation to the Senate was “loaded with lies and misrepresentations.
But the Senate, which is controlled by Trump’s fellow Republicans, remains unlikely to convict him. A two-thirds majority is needed to remove him from office.
