Graham calls for Susan Rice to testify on unmasking allegations

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is reportedly calling on former national security adviser Susan Rice to testify before a Senate subcommittee next week regarding whether the Obama administration tried to “politicize intel” during the 2016 presidential election.

President Trump accused Rice last month of improperly unmasking American citizens caught up in incidental surveillance in an effort to implicate members of his campaign during probes into Russian meddling in the election. Rice denied those allegations in an interview with CNN’s Fareed Zakaria over the weekend, saying she never did “anything that was untoward” with intelligence that she received. 

Graham, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee and chairs the subcommittee on crime and terrorism, said that, while it was clear that Russia interfered in the election, congressional investigators also need to get to the bottom of the allegations against Rice.
