Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who has become the biggest defender of Donald Trump in the Senate, took to Twitter on Wednesday to state his case as to why it is “unnecessary” to let additional witnesses testify at the impeachment trial of the president.
Graham claimed that former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s testimony was not needed because even his claims would “fall well below the standards to remove a president from office.”
Graham then turned the focus of his thread to Joe Biden, writing that “there is ample evidence for the President to be concerned about conflicts of interest on behalf of Hunter Biden and that Vice President Joe Biden’s failure to take appropriate action was unacceptable.”
Graham later added that there is a “mountain of evidence to suggest the Bidens’ behavior was harmful to the United States.”
Take a look at his tweets below:
For the sake of argument, one could assume everything attributable to John Bolton is accurate and still the House case would fall well below the standards to remove a president from office.

This combination, in my view, undercut America’s message on reforming corruption in Ukraine. There is a mountain of evidence to suggest the Bidens’ behavior was harmful to the United States.

However, I am concerned when John Bolton’s credibility is attacked, it makes it more likely some will feel the need to call him as a witness.
In that event, it would be important for the President and his team to call witnesses on other issues.
