CNN’s Manu Raju asked Graham if POTUS feels “emboldened” by his acquittal in the Senate.

Graham said, “No, I think he feels like the people are out to get him, going overboard. I mean, just put yourself in his shoes.”

He brought up the DOJ IG report lambasting the FBI on the FISA process and said Trump has a “general frustration” of a “double standard” that unfairly targets him.

He added, “Tweeting about an ongoing criminal matter is not appropriate.”

Graham also, per Politico, said today “he did not intend to bring Attorney General William Barr in for testimony aside from the committee’s general oversight of the Justice Department.”
