Lindsey Graham warns Democrats will ‘open up Pandora's box’ if witnesses called at impeachment trial

Senator Lindsey Graham was on “Fox News Primetime,” Monday, where he discussed the upcoming impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. He warned that if his Democtratic colleagues called witnesses to testify against Trump for inciting the violence at the Capitol, then he’ll get the FBI involved.

“I think we know what happened that day,” said Graham. “But if you open up that can of worms, we’ll want the FBI to come in and tell us how people actually pre-planned these attacks and what happened with the security footprint at the Capitol.”

“You open up Pandora's box if you call one witness,” he continued. “I hope we don’t call any and we vote and get this trial over next week when it starts.”
