A complaint to the Senate Ethics Committee has been filed against Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) requesting a probe into whether the South Carolina senator tried to pressure Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to throw out legally cast ballots and so may have committed an ethics violation.
Walter Shaub, a former director of the U.S. Government’s ethics office; Richard Painter, the chief ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush; and Claire Finkelstein, the director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Center for Ethics and the Rule of Law, filed the complaint on Nov. 18 (pdf).
