Speaking to Fox News host Trey Gowdy on Sunday, Mr Graham said: “Most Republicans, myself included, believe that when it comes to Trump, there is no law. It’s all about getting him.” “There is a double standard when it comes to Trump. What happened with Hunter Biden is that the FBI was parked to make sure the story didn’t break before the 2020 election. “Now we have informants in the FBI telling Gen. [Chuck] Grassley that they were told to slow down and back off from Hunter Biden. And I will say this, if Donald Trump is prosecuted for mishandling classified information after the Clinton debacle … there will be riots in the street.” Mr Graham’s comments came after Meta chief executive Mark Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan on his podcast that the FBI had warned Facebook to be on “high alert” for “Russian propaganda”. “To know, you should be alert. We thought there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election,” Mr. Zuckerberg recalled being told by the FBI. “If they tried to impeach President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement, there would literally be riots in the street. I’m worried about the country,” Mr Graham said. On Friday, a redacted version of the affidavit used by FBI agents to obtain a search warrant for the former president’s Mar-a-Lago residence revealed more details about what the Justice Department knew about government records at the home of Mr. Trump before the investigation. . Mr Trump then hit out at the leaked affidavit, calling it “a total public relations botch by the FBI and the DOJ [Department of Justice].”
