Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said that President Donald Trump’s use of the word lynching to describe the impeachment inquiry against him was accurate.

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, lynching “is the mob killing of a person suspected of a crime, especially by hanging, that is done outside of the law.”
