Sen. Lindsey Graham spoke highly of special counsel Robert S. Mueller’s work Monday, following the delivery of his report late last week on Russian interference. The report found that President Donald Trump and his campaign did not conspire or coordinate with Russian actors to influence the 2016 election. Graham then called for further investigation into “the other side of the story,” referring to a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant allowing the Justice Department to surveil Trump campaign associate Carter Page. “[It] is at a minimum disturbing,” that the FISA warrant may have been based on an unverified dossier of salacious allegations against the president, Graham said.
