Graham was asked about his national security concerns regarding the Biden classified documents.
The South Carolina senator answered, “The same thing for Trump. Why did you do it? What was the purpose of these documents? They were held where? Who had the right to access them? Let me tell you this. I’ve known President Biden for a long time. I don’t think. I’d be shocked of there was anything sinister here.”
Graham understood what he meant and sent this tweet:
I don’t believe there were ‘sinister motives’ with regards to the handling of classified information by President Biden, President Trump, or Vice President Pence.
We have a problem with classified data that must be resolved.

No one is out there vouching for Donald Trump’s character, which is revealing. Trump left the White House in a hurry, and that was the best defense Republicans could give him.
Republicans have never been capable of convincingly defending Trump’s lies about his classified documents. Sen. Graham had a moment of truth when he defended the character of President Biden and didn’t do the same for Trump.
Sen. Graham has discovered that tweets can’t erase the past, nor reverse time.
