In reaction to South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham’s request for documents from the State Department related to Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, the vice president said that Graham “is about to go down”.
Biden said that he was “embarrassed” for Graham in an interview with CNN on Friday, and said that President Trump is “holding power” over Graham.
“They have him under their thumb right now. They know he knows, if he comes out against Trump, he’s got a real tough road for re-election,” Biden said.
Graham, the Senate Judiciary chairman, sent a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Thursday requesting documentation in the possession of the State Department about Biden’s communications with Ukraine’s former president, and about an alleged business meeting between a Hunter Biden associate and the former Secretary of State John Kerry.
“I am disappointed, and quite frankly I’m angered by the fact that he knows me, he knows my son, he knows there’s nothing to this,” Biden said Friday.
“Lindsey is about to go down in a way that I think he’s going to regret his whole life,” Biden said. “I say, Lindsey, I’m just embarrassed by what you’re doing, for you.”
