Graham: DOJ has process to review Giuliani’s Ukraine info

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, a close ally of President Donald Trump, said Sunday that the Justice Department has established a way to review information gathered in Ukraine by Trump personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who has targeted Democrat Joe Biden and his son. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said Attorney General William Barr told him during a conversation Sunday that the department has “created a process that Rudy could give information and they would see if it’s verified.” “Rudy Giuliani is a well-known man,” said Graham. Graham said anything Giuliani has obtained from Ukraine needs to be given to the Justice Department or Congress’ intelligence committees “because it could be Russian propaganda.” Graham said he also spoke Sunday with Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Graham was interviewed on CBS’ “Face the Nation” and Giuliani appeared on Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” ___ Associated Press writer Michael Balsamo contributed to this report.
