U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina), the Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, expressed his strong disapproval of the Democrats' recent actions in issuing a subpoena to a private citizen. Graham's statement comes in response to the Committee Democrats' subpoena to Leonard Leo, a private citizen. The Senator criticized the move, calling it out of touch with the pressing issues facing the nation.

In his statement, Graham emphasized the urgency of the current challenges faced by the country, highlighting that "The world is on fire, the border is broken, and the Biden Administration is completely incompetent on multiple levels." He went on to denounce the Democrats' focus on subpoenaing a private citizen, characterizing it as a pursuit of "political clickbait."

Furthermore, Graham labeled the subpoena as illegal and dismissed the allegations behind it as frivolous. He expressed his hope that the American people would share his frustration, stating, "I hope the American people are fed up with this. I know I am."

The background to this issue dates back to November 30, 2023, when Democrats attempted to authorize the subpoena in what was described as a move to discredit the Supreme Court. However, their efforts were unsuccessful.

The Senator's strong words reflect the escalating tensions and political maneuvers within the Senate Judiciary Committee, as partisan divides continue to deepen on crucial issues facing the nation.
