Huckabee: Lindsey Graham should open separate investigation into Hunter Biden and whistleblower

Huckabee also wants Senate Republicans to open an investigation to gather more information on the whistleblower that triggered the impeachment push in the first place.

“We should find out about this ‘whistleblower,’” Huckabee said.

“Where did he get his information? Was he biased? Did he do this with some political intent? Was it because of his own personal feelings, or was it because he truly believed that there was something of national security at stake? And that should be a separate investigation not tied whatsoever to the impeachment sham,” he said.

Many Republicans believe that House impeachment manager Adam Schiff has not been truthful about his relationship with the whistleblower, and the Washington Post fact-checker agreed with that belief.

“Lindsey Graham has the power as the chairman of the Judiciary Committee to do it,” Huckabee added. “The Republicans are in the majority.”

Huckabee also suggested that Democrats potentially could use the new investigation as an opportunity to hear from witnesses they weren’t able to question during the impeachment trial.

“If they want to bring John Bolton in for this one, bring him in. Let’s hear from him,” the 2008 and 2016 presidential candidate said.

“But he’s going to have to square what he may be saying in his book with what he said on television just after this phone call took place when he talked about the ‘warm and cordial’ conversation the president had with the president of Ukraine,” he added.

Bolton has received criticism from many Republicans over an interview he gave in August 2019, when he said that the controversial phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was “warm and cordial” and did not raise the objections that are now allegedly in his book.

President Trump tweeted out a clip from the interview with the caption: “GAME OVER!”
