Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the abuse of power impeachment charges by House Democrats against President Donald Trump would cause significant problems for future presidents.

“Abuse of power is so poorly defined here I don’t know presidents in the future can confirm their conduct,” Graham told “Fox News Sunday.“ ”It’s the first impeachment in modern history without outside counsel… they had to do it in such a hurry he could not exercise executive privilege,” he added.
