"Somebody needs to be punished for misleading the court, lying to the court," Graham said. He warned that otherwise, "we're encouraging the breakdown of the rule of law."

Graham noted how the Russia investigation began as a counterintelligence probe related to Russian election interference, but no one warned then-candidate Trump that anyone associated with his campaign could be cause for concern. He also questioned how much Trump's predecessor knew.
"Did Obama know? Did the president of the United States know that the FBI and Department of Justice were investigating the Republican nominee for president, and if he did, what did he do about it?"
