• Graham on Tuesday told a reporter he won't look at the new evidence and said the entire process surrounding the inquiry is "BS."

A little over a month ago, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said anyone looking for evidence of a quid pro quo involving US military aid to Ukraine and a request from the president for an investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden would be "disappointed."
