Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday he had told Sen. John McCain to give the FBI the dossier on the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia, a revelation that comes after Trump repeatedly assailed the late Arizona Republican over the issue. Last week, Trump accused McCain of handing over the document “for very evil purposes.” McCain died of brain cancer in August. Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told reporters Monday McCain showed him the dossier when he received it in late 2016. Turn it over to somebody whose job it is to find these things out, and John McCain acted appropriately,” Graham said, according to CNN. And while McCain himself gave the dossier to the FBI, there is no evidence he gave it to the media.
