South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham recently said he thinks that if President Trump is prosecuted over the mishandling of classified documents, there will be chaos in our streets.
According to Townhall, Lindsey Graham made his comments on FOX News, warning that there would be “riots in the streets.” Adding that law doesn’t exist when it comes to the former president, the South Carolina senator claims that Trump is subjected to “double standards.”
Townhall notes that the FOX interview got Trump’s stamp of approval, because he re-posted it to his Truth Social account.
As we previously reported, this comes after, in a new report, the Department of Justice released photos showing papers – with many marked ‘top secret’ – on the carpet of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home during the August 8th FBI search.
In a response to the photos, according to the Daily Mail, Trump said the FBI agents may have been pretending it was him who threw the classified documents on the floor of Mar-a-Lago.
Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Terrible the way the FBI, during the Raid of Mar-a-Lago, threw documents haphazardly all over the floor (perhaps pretending it was me that did it!), and then started taking pictures of them for the public to see. Thought they wanted them kept Secret? Lucky I Declassified!”
Trump added in another message, “There seems to be confusion as to the “picture” where documents were sloppily thrown on the floor and then released photographically for the world to see, as if that’s what the FBI found when they broke into my home. Wrong! They took them out of cartons and spread them around on the carpet, making it look like a big “find” for them. They dropped them, not me – Very deceiving…And remember, we could have NO representative, including lawyers, present during the Raid. They were told to wait outside.”
