Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is making it obvious that he will vote to acquit Donald Trump despite the evidence presented against him at his impeachment trial.
On Friday, while the trial was progressing and the Trump defense attorneys were standing on the floor of the Senate making their arguments, Graham left the trial to assist with Trump’s defense.
According to Punchbowl News co-founder John Bresnahan, Trump’s lawyers “actually pulled [Graham] off floor.”

CNN’s Manu Raju reports Sen. Ted Cruz, who has also been assisting on strategy, was spotted today as well.
Sen. Ted Cruz was spotted by the pool during the break popping into the LBJ Room — where Trump’s lawyers have been using as their workspace. He was also there last night — along with Graham and Lee — talking defense team strategy
