Sen. Lindsey Graham of the Republican Party predicted “major outrage” if former President Donald Trump were to face a third indictment for his involvement in the attack on the Capitol on January 6.
Because the grand jury is convening in one of the nation’s most liberal towns, Washington, D.C., as Graham explained to CNN on Wednesday, this is the case.
‘If the special counsel indicts President Trump in Washington, D.C. on anything related to January 6 that will be considered a major outrage by Republicans ’cause you could convict any Republican of anything in Washington, D.C.,’ Graham said on Capitol Hill.
‘And I fear that that is where this is going, as kind of an insurance policy,’ the South Carolina Republican added.
Both the January 6 lawsuit and the Mar-a-Lago documents case are being handled by Special Counsel Jack Smith, and both are being heard in federal court in Miami, Florida, where Republicans have made strides in recent elections.
