GOP Sens. Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn are calling for a special counsel to investigate whether Obama was involved in undermining Trump's 2016 bid.

July 24 (UPI) -- U.S. Republican Sens. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, are calling for a special counsel to investigate allegations against former President Barack Obama. The senators said they want the truth about Obama's alleged "manipulation" before the 2016 election.

Two senior Republican senators implored the Justice Department Thursday to name a special counsel to probe fresh revelations about the Obama administration’s role in the Russiagate investigation that dogged President Trump’s first term.
