Graham condemns 'closed' US impeachment probe

(24 Oct 2019) Republican US Senator Lindsey Graham, a top ally of US President Donald Trump, is introducing a resolution condemning the Democratic-controlled House for pursuing a "closed door, illegitimate impeachment inquiry". Graham announced the move on Thursday and said the Senate's top Republican, Mitch McConnell, was a co-sponsor. The non-binding resolution gives Senate Republicans a chance to show support for Trump at a moment when he's urging his Republican allies to get tougher and fight harder for him, as the House impeachment probe gathers momentum. Many Senate Republicans are taking a wait-and-see approach amid the House impeachment inquiry. Rather than commenting on the substance of the probe, they are united in complaining that the House is taking depositions from witnesses behind closed doors.
