Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said the impeachment push from Democrats would die quickly in the Senate—countering suggestions from President Donald Trump and other Republicans for a trial to exonerate the president.

“I don’t need any witnesses at all. I am ready to go,” Graham, who is the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Thursday on Fox News. “I don’t want to give it any legitimacy because it is a crock.”
