Republican South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who is also the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, is scheduled to meet with Barr on Wednesday, according to Post sources.
The Republicans have a great deal of political capital invested in the report and they hope its conclusions will demonstrate that Trump has been the target of the “Deep State” bureaucracy that has tolerated Trump’s outsider presidency and has sought to entangle him in endless investigations that have culminated in the current impeachment inquiry, the Post reports.
Last week, former CIA Acting Director John McLaughlin acknowledged the existence of the Deep State in a television interview and praised those of its members who have pursued impeachment against Trump. “Thank God for the Deep State,” McLaughlin said.
