WASHINGTON – Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham is scheduling a vote that would allow him to subpoena more than 50 current and former officials who were involved in the Justice Department’s investigation of Russian involvement in the 2016 U.S.
presidential campaign, as President Donald Trump and his allies have launched a broad, election-year attack on the investigation as a “deep state” conspiracy.
Graham, a close ally of Trump, is effectively turning the investigation on the investigators, asking the officials for documents, communications and testimony about the FBI’s investigation into ties between Russia and the 2016 Trump campaign.
