Sen. Lindsey Graham just spoke with reporters outside of the Senate Judiciary Committee about the ongoing impeachment investigation.
Graham said that the anonymous whistleblower's name should be made public because "you can't be prosecuted based on an anonymous accusation. The only way you lose your property rights or your liberty rights in America is to have due process.”
The senator also called the impeachment process a "sham" and said the testimony presented in the impeachment investigation seems "to be incapable of forming a quid pro quo."
He added that he expected Rudy Giuliani, who is at the center of the Trump administration's dealings with Ukraine, to claim executive privilege and refuse to testify.
Echoing the Trump administration's focus on the rough transcript of Trump's call with the Ukrainian president, he said:
"I've read the phone call. I made up my own mind about the phone call I'm not asking you to agree with me about the phone call. I'm asking you to respect my opinion of the phone call.”
Remember: The White House released a transcript of the July call, but it's only a rough log and not a word-for-word readout. The rough transcript shows Trump repeatedly pushed Ukraine's president to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
