The inquiry comes after former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe confirmed reports that he discussed invoking the 25th Amendment with DOJ officials to remove the president from office.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, in his official capacity as chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is seeking evidence to corroborate allegations that Department of Justice officials considered secretly wearing a wire around President Donald Trump and discussed removing him from office.
The South Carolina Republican is a staunch Trump loyalist who said last month it was “imperative that [McCabe], and others, come before the Senate Judiciary Committee” to testify about “bias against President Trump.” "What specific facts led him to that terrifying conclusion?” Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal told Newsweek. “To think about wearing a wire or invoke the 25th Amendment is not normal, not customary, not precedented. It’s terrifying.”
"I was very concerned that I was able to put the Russia case on absolutely solid ground, in an indelible fashion," McCabe told CBS’s 60 Minutes last month ahead of a book release."That were I removed quickly, or reassigned or fired, that the case could not be closed or vanish in the night without a trace.... If somebody came in behind me and closed it and tried to walk away from it, they would not be able to do that without creating a record of why they made that decision.
