WASHINGTON _ U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham in March predicted his GOP colleagues would be "enthusiastic" to investigate whether the Obama-era Justice Department tried to influence the 2016 election in favor of Democrat Hillary Clinton.
The South Carolina Republican saw his prediction come true on Wednesday, when Attorney General William Barr testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.
The hearing was convened as an opportunity for lawmakers to question Barr about his interpretation of White House Special Counsel Robert Mueller's lengthy report on whether President Donald Trump colluded with Russia during the 2016 campaign and sought to obstruct justice to thwart Mueller's investigation.
