Sen. Lindsay Graham on Tuesday said he would be “shocked” if President Biden’s mishandling of classified documents was sinister.
Mr. Graham told reporters that while he was concerned with the scandal, he vouched for Mr. Biden’s character and integrity.
“I’ve known President Biden for a long time,” said the South Carolina Republican. “I’d be shocked if there’s anything sinister here.”
Despite backing the president’s character, Mr. Graham said Mr. Biden must answer why he retained classified documents from his tenure as vice president. The senator said the questions were similar to those former President Donald Trump had to answer after his Mar-a-Lago estate was raided last year for not returning documents to the National Archives in a timely manner.
