Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, chairman of the Judiciary Committee and a close ally of President Donald Trump, said he will do everything in his power to quickly end an expected impeachment trial in the Republican-led Senate
"This thing will come to the Senate, and it will die quickly, and I will do everything I can to make it die quickly," the South Carolina Republican said Saturday during an interview with CNN International's Becky Anderson at the Doha Forum in Qatar.The House Judiciary Committee on Friday approved two articles of impeachment against the President, paving the way for a final vote on the House floor expected next week.
Graham said he does not wish to hear from the Bidens or any other witnesses."I want to hear the House make their case based on the record they established in the House and I want to vote," he said.He said he wants impeachment to end"for the good of the country," adding:"I think the best thing for America to do is get this behind us.""If you don't like President Trump, you can vote against him in less than a year.
