Transcript through ABC’s This Week:

RADDATZ: The grand jury launched this assertion. We discover by a unanimous vote that no widespread fraud happened within the Georgia 2020 presidential election that might lead to overturning that election.

You appeared earlier than that grand jury in November and have been requested a couple of name the Georgia secretary of state mentioned you made to him after the 2020 election. First, do you settle for the grand jury conclusion, and do you might have any regrets about calling the secretary of state? And any considerations about perjury?

GRAHAM: No considerations about my testimony. The grand jury evaluation that there was no widespread fraud in Georgia, I agree with that. I believe the voting by mail had issues, however I discovered no proof of widespread fraud. And I needed to resolve as a senator whether or not or to not validate the Georgia election. I assumed it made sense to name up the Georgia secretary of state, and I did. I requested onerous questions, however on the finish of the day, I voted to certify the election ends in Georgia for the 2020 election.

Graham’s model of the story shouldn’t be what occurred in keeping with Georgia Sec. of State Brad Raffspenger. Graham reportedly requested the Georgia Secretary of State to make use of the state’s poll signature regulation to toss legally solid ballots for Joe Biden.

Lindsey Graham tried to strain Georgia authorities into overturning the state outcomes for Trump, in keeping with Georgia officers.

Graham wasn’t asking powerful questions. He was making an attempt to overturn an election, and when it grew to become clear that he couldn’t, it seemed like he modified course and voted to certify the election.

Simply because Sen. Graham didn’t perjure himself, doesn’t imply that his fingers are clear on Trump’s tried coup.
