The senator told CBS's Margaret Brennan a list of high profile law firms that deserved getting the security clearance revoked.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is defending President Donald Trump’s attacks on law firms and attorneys which he’s deemed his enemies.
The senator from South Carolina said he was more than fine with Trump’s decision to pull security clearances and slap other restrictions on legal adversaries while speaking to CBS moderator Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
Calling investigations into Trump’s ties to Russia and the Jan. 6 assault on the capital “politically motivated,” he said, “People who engaged in trying to destroy President Trump, I don’t mind him going after them in a lawful way.”
Brennan immediately pushed back at Graham’s use of the word “lawful,” telling the senator, “The president is trying to use government power to punish private business because he didn’t like some of the work they had been doing.”
Graham doubled down, telling the journalist how “private business aided government power in a fashion to destroy Donald Trump’s life.”
