ON THE HILL WITH DOUG CHRISTIAN
CAPITOL HILL –
(AUDIO: Sen. Lindsey Graham)
That was Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina telling TMN how he interprets the whistleblower report from a CIA analyst who alleges that President Donald Trump sought to extort a campaign favor investigating his political rival’s son, Hunter Biden, in return for releasing military aid to Ukraine.
On Sunday Trump tweeted:
Like every American, I deserve to meet my accuser, especially when this accuser, the so-called “Whistleblower,” represented a perfect conversation with a foreign leader in a totally inaccurate and fraudulent way. Then Schiff made up what I actually said by lying to Congress……

and tweeted:
….In addition, I want to meet not only my accuser, who presented SECOND & THIRD HAND INFORMATION, but also the person who illegally gave this information, which was largely incorrect, to the “Whistleblower.” Was this person SPYING on the U.S. President? Big Consequences!

In response, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) confirmed Sunday that lawyers for the whistleblower have reached an agreement with Congress for him to testify before the panel.
