Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) took to the Senate Floor on March 14 to call for the appointment of a new special counsel to investigate possible misconduct by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI.

Graham made the remarks in response to a Democrat-backed resolution that passed in the House unanimously earlier in the day, which calls for any final report in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation to be made public. The South Carolina senator said the resolution should be amended before it is considered in the Senate.
