Ranking GOP Sen. Graham Defends Trump's 'Catch-and-Kill' Scheme, Compares to Celebrities
Apr 28, 2024, 06:15 PM
In a series of interviews, Senator Lindsey Graham, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, defended former President Donald Trump amid revelations that David Pecker, a close associate, was involved in a 'catch-and-kill' scheme to suppress negative stories during Trump's presidential campaign. Graham compared the practice to actions taken by celebrities like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Tiger Woods, suggesting it was not uncommon. CNN anchor Dana Bash challenged Graham, noting that unlike the celebrities mentioned, Trump was running for president. Despite the controversy, Graham dismissed the legal implications of the scheme and argued that American voters are more concerned with their personal issues than with Trump's legal troubles. He also admitted that there is no 'absolute immunity' in the Constitution.
