Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is urging Senate Democrat Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) to not proceed with an impeachment trial for President Donald Trump, arguing it would be a gratuitous effort that would further divide the country.

In a letter to Schumer, the South Carolina senator said the impeachment power should only be used to protect the nation from harm from an incumbent president and not to vindicate political grievances after a president has left office.
