Lindsey Graham asks Rudy Giuliani to testify for Senate in apparent attempt to counteract House's Ukraine probe

This will be entertaining, if absolutely nothing else.

Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) seems to think the House is getting all the fun and testimony in President Trump's growing Ukraine scandal. So to spread the allegations even further, Graham has invited Trump's lawyer Rudy Giuliani to testify for his committee, Graham said Tuesday.

Graham's Tuesday tweets reduce this impeachment whatnot to "the House of Representatives' behavior," and Giuliani's unfounded claims about the Bidens become "disturbing allegations." So on account of all of this, Graham has invited Giuliani to testify about "his concerns" for the Senate Judiciary Committee.

His prodding seemingly pushed Trump to ask Ukraine's president to investigate the Bidens, sparking a whistleblower complaint and impeachment inquiry by the House.
