Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham warned President Donald Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani about his explosive claims about Democrats allegedly engaging in a "Cover-up."
"I don't know what Rudy's got, but I'm going to send him a letter. If you're going to go on national television and tell the country that you've found evidence of a cover-up, then I hope you know what you're talking about," Graham told reporters on Wednesday.
Giuliani has made a number of claims in recent weeks, including the allegation that Democrats used the impeachment inquiry as a "Cover up" for corruption in Ukraine.
Giuliani recently visited Ukraine, meeting with ex-prosecutor Viktor Shokin-who has sworn under oath that he was ousted at the behest of former Vice President Joe Biden over his involvement in probing Ukrainian gas giant Burisma, which employed Biden's son as a board member-and Yuriy Lutsenko, a former prosecutor who has accused former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch of pressuring him not to probe certain individuals.
Trump said on Dec. 7 that Giuliani would report to Attorney General William Barr and Congress about what he found during his travels and that Giuliani said he uncovered "a lot of good information."
About a week later, Graham invited Giuliani to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee about the findings.
Opponents of Trump have accused Giuliani of chasing conspiracy theories and his actions were cited by a number of House Democrats during the impeachment hearings as damaging Trump's standing and helping support allegations against the president.
