Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Friday warned that special counsel Robert Mueller, who is directing the Justice Department’s investigation into Russian election meddling, will be held responsible for any leaks from his probe.
The South Carolina Republican told Fox News that while he will “respect” the grand jury process, he will “hold Mueller accountable” for any leaks.
