Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told CBS’ “Face the Nation” Sunday morning that he wants to see former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch testify before a Senate committee.

This request from Graham comes after fired FBI director James Comey testified on Thursday that Lynch asked him to refer to the investigation into whether Hillary Clinton’s use of a private server and handling of classified information broke the law as a “matter” instead of an investigation.

And apparently this is a request to which Comey had no problem acquiescing.

Graham also said he would like to hear from current Attorney General Jeff Sessions about a suggestion by Comey that he was “playing politics” with the investigation into Russian collusion with the Trump campaign.
Graham calls on former AG Lynch and Jeff Sessions to testify before Judiciary Committee.
