Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham says he doesn't think Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker should recuse himself in special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
Graham added that he believes the president will appoint a permanent attorney general "early next year," which would leave Whitaker in his role of acting attorney general for months. Whitaker's skepticism of the scope and authority of Mueller's role has prompted some Democrats call for him to either recuse or step aside.
Graham told "Face the Nation" host Margaret Brennan on Sunday he believes the acting attorney general was "appointed appropriately" and "legally," and he's "confident" Whitaker won't interfere in Mueller's ongoing investigation.
"I talked with Matt yesterday," Graham said. "I'm going to meet with him next week when we get our schedules aligned here. I think he was appropriately appointed legally. I don't think he has to recuse himself. I am confident the Mueller investigation will be allowed to come to a good solid conclusion, that there'll be no political influence put on Mr. Mueller by Mr. Whitaker to do anything other than Mr. Mueller's job. I'm confident that Mr. Mueller will be allowed to do his job without interference."

(8,908 posts)Trump's ass since McCain passed I no longer pay attention to anything he says. When I see him being interviewed he has become an automatic channel switch for me, no different than Matt Schlapp, Hugh Hewitt, Rick Santorum, Jen Kerns, etc. the people you know already what they are going to say and are a waste of time to listen to.
