'I don’t think that’s appropriate': Lindsey Graham jabs Trump on Stone sentencing but refuses to hold hearings

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday rebuffed calls that he hold a hearing into President Donald Trump's possible interference into the sentencing of longtime friend Roger Stone.

Graham made the remarks after Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made a request on the Senate floor for hearings into the ongoing scandal.

Graham refused to hold emergency hearings, but he said that he expected Barr to appear before his committee for general oversight at some point in the future.

Graham also admonished the president for weighing in on Stone's sentencing.

"I don't think that's appropriate," the senator said, noting that he had asked the president to stop tweeting about this case.
