Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) told reporters on Friday that hell oppose a motion to call up former Vice President Joe Biden or his son, Hunter, to testify during the impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo my Republican friends, you may be upset about what happened in the Ukraine with the Bidens, but this is not the venue to litigate that,\u201d he told The Hill<\/a>. \u201cI need some Republicans who would say, as much as I want to know more about Burisma and the Bidens, this is not the venue. Ive got to find four,\u201d Graham stated, suggesting that he has to find only four Republicans to join Democrats in opposing calling up Biden. \u201cI vote against it,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is a close ally of Trump and has been a staunch defender of the president amid the impeachment inquiry. But Graham said he opposes Bidens testimony because he views the trial should come to an end soon. Democrats have also wanted to compel testimony from witnesses including former Trump adviser John Bolton.<\/p>\n

\u201cIm not going to grant witness requests by the defense,\u201d he added. \u201cThey could have called all of these people\u201d in the House. \u201cThey denied the president his day in court, and Im not going to legitimize it.\u201d<\/p>\n

His position on the matter places him at odds with fellow Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who has repeatedly called for testimony from the younger Biden. \u201cThe president gets to call anybody he thinks would be good for his defense, the prosecution can call who they want, but I dont think we should selectively call witnesses that dont like the president,\u201d Paul said<\/a> on Jan. 17.<\/p>\n

Some Republicans have also wanted to call Joe Biden, a Democratic 2020 presidential candidate, and his son because of the reportedly lucrative board position Hunter Biden had on a Ukrainian gas firm, Burisma Holdings, while his father was the \u201cpoint man\u201d in Ukraine during the Obama administration. The elder Biden went on the record<\/a> in 2018 during a Council on Foreign Relations event and told an audience that he pushed to get allegedly corrupt top Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin firRead More \u2013 Source<\/a>
