Lindsey Graham Rejects Trump's Call to Jail January 6 Investigators

The South Carolina senator distances himself from the president-elect, drawing backlash from Trump's MAGA base.

Senator Lindsey Graham stated in an NBC interview that he does not support Donald Trump's suggestion to jail members of the January 6 Committee.
Trump previously argued that the committee members, who investigated his role in the Capitol attack, should face imprisonment for their actions.
Graham, a longstanding ally of Trump, faced sharp criticism from MAGA supporters online, with some accusing him of betrayal.
The January 6 Committee presented evidence that Trump failed to act to stop the Capitol riot, though he has continued to downplay the event as peaceful.
While Graham has supported much of Trump's agenda, he has occasionally parted ways, including voting to certify the 2020 election results.
