But this has not been recent practice and we saw that come to a head during the 2016 presidential campaign.— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) June 13, 2019
During that race, we had a major American political party hire a foreign national, Christopher Steele, to dig up dirt on an American presidential candidate.
