Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) excoriated House Democrats on Feb. 27 for holding a hearing with convicted felon Michael Cohen on the day of President Donald Trump’s historic meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Vietnam.

“A new low for House Democrats: holding hearings with Michael Cohen while President Trump negotiates with North Korea about giving up their nuclear arsenal,” Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement.
