Senator Graham Stops Repeal of Payout That May Reap Him Millions.

The article focuses on Senator Lindsey Graham's efforts to block the repeal of a provision in a bill that allows him and other Republican senators to sue the Justice Department over telephone record seizures related to the 2020 election interference investigation. Graham plans to seek "tens of millions" of dollars in damages, significantly more than his annual salary, and intends to sue Verizon for its cooperation with the investigation. Despite a unanimous House vote to repeal the provision, Senate Republicans, including Graham, have defended it, with discussions ongoing about potentially expanding the provision to include other conservatives. The article also notes that lawyers for former special counsel Jack Smith have countered claims that his office engaged in surveillance of Congress members during the inquiry.
