Republicans back Graham, Cornyn’s call for Obama special counsel
- Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn are calling on Attorney General Pam Bondi to appoint a special counsel to investigate the former Obama administration regarding Russia's interference in the 2016 election, citing a belief in political manipulation by Obama and his officials.
- Graham and Cornyn's request follows past investigations, including one led by John Durham during the Trump administration that found no evidence against the Obama administration.
- NBC News reported that the White House is not in favor of a new special counsel, fearing it may shift attention away from Trump's Justice Department.
- Critics argue that Graham and Cornyn are prioritizing their re-election bids in 2026 over actual evidence, as prior investigations have already addressed these claims.
