Once headlines broke about the unannounced raid, GOP officials like Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia publicly vocalized her support for Trump, tweeting, “Defund the FBI.” Similarly, Trump’s former chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, tweeted his skepticism of the FBI raid, saying: “It appears this raid was, in fact, just about documents. As even some on the left have opined: that is simply outrageous.”
One member of the GOP, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, is now offering some insight on what he thinks is in store for the country if Trump is found guilty.

Graham went on to say that if Trump gets prosecuted in regards to his possession of classified documents, he says there will be “riots.” He added, “If they tried to prosecute President Trump for mishandling classified information after Hillary Clinton set up a server in her basement, there literally will be riots in the street. I worry about the country … Look at what happened to Hunter Biden. They gave him a complete pass, apparently. And social media outlets suppressed information that could have mattered.”
Graham was referring to an incident that happened mere weeks before the 2020 presidential election where Hunter Biden’s laptop content was leaked by the New York Post, including revealing photos and emails.
