Meet the Press interviews during 2018: on Principles & Values

Lindsey Graham: Investigate Steele dossier and how FBI handled it

GRAHAM: Mr. Steele was on the payroll of Fusion GPS, who was being paid by the Democratic Party to do opposition research on Donald Trump. That while he was working with the FBI, he was shopping this dossier all over the world. That's not what an informant should do. I want a special counsel to look at not only how Mr. Steele conducted himself, what the FBI did with the dossier. Somebody needs to look. If you believe Robert Mueller should be looking at the Trump campaign, count me in. But if you ignore all this stuff, you're blind.

Q: Do you want Mr. Steele extradited?

GRAHAM: Well, he was asked to appear before our committee. Come in and tell us what you did. He was sued for libel based on the dossier. Mr. Comey told President Trump, "Here's this dossier. It's unverified." The system doesn't work that way.
