“There’s a new front opening here. I have reason to believe that there are emails between Clinton campaign officials, democratic operatives to the Department of Justice regarding the Clinton email investigation that happened on [former president Barack] Obama’s watch. I have reason to believe those emails exist,” Graham said. “I’m on the Judiciary Committee. And I think it’s important that the Judiciary Committee be given any emails that were directed to the Department of Justice by Clinton campaign officials or operatives because we have jurisdiction over the Department of Justice.”
"If there was a communication to the Department of Justice about an ongoing investigation from people who are the subject of the investigation, I want to know that," Graham said on Fox News.
Graham said that if there is a probe into allegations that Trump colluded with Russians during the 2016 election, "I think it should go both ways." But he said he has seen no evidence to show that Trump was involved in collusion with Russia.
While he did not elaborate on why he had "reason to believe" the Team Clinton emails to Justice exist, there is no doubt that some Clinton supporters sought to influence the Department's probe into Clinton's secret email server -- and the fact that she destroyed some 30,000 emails, along with the hard drives that contained them. For one, former president Bill Clinton met with then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch on a tarmac in Phoenix while the probe into Hillary was ongoing.
