Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Tuesday that he wants to know if somebody on President Donald Trump's transition team "directed" former national security advisor Michael Flynn to discuss sanctions in a call with Russia's ambassador to the United States
"I want to know, did General Flynn do this by himself or was he directed by somebody to do it?" Graham said in an interview with CNN's Kate Bolduan.
He said that he has not "seen the transcripts" of Flynn's conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak before Trump took office.
"I think Congress needs to be informed of what actually General Flynn said to the Russian ambassador about lifting sanctions," Graham said. "Did he say anything at all or is this just being spun by the media?"
