TEHRAN, Sept 29_US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is engaging in an attempt to defend President Donald Trump amid the Ukraine scandal.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club(YJC)_The South Carolina senator, who played golf with Trump at the president’s club in Sterling, Virginia, on Saturday morning, rejected allegations that Trump acted against national security interests by pushing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy to investigate political rival Joe Biden before enjoying the US military aid.
“In America you can’t even get a parking ticket based on hearsay testimony,” tweeted Graham, once a Trump critic. “But you can impeach a president? I certainly hope not.”
The Republican was reportedly heard on a JetBlue flight from Washington, DC, to Charleston, South Carolina, apparently coordinating his defense initiative with Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner.
“His phone rang and he answered, ‘Hey, Jared!’ He was . . . saying he’s going to be on ‘Face the Nation’ on Sunday. He said, ‘Listen — this is what I’m going to lay out,’ ” according to the report. “He was like, ‘We need to know why Hunter [Biden] was receiving $50K’ ” for being on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma. “He then said, ‘You can’t impeach someone on hearsay.’ He was laying out his story for Sunday.”
