Lindsey Graham erupts at House GOP as shutdown looms over blocked lawsuit provision
Sen. Lindsey Graham lashed out at House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday as a federal shutdown deadline approached, furious that House Republicans moved to kill a provision allowing senators to sue the federal government for damages if their data was accessed without notice. According to reporting shared by journalist Jamie Dupree, Graham accused House leaders of jamming him and made clear he has no intention of backing down from the payout provision tied to the Jan. 6 investigation. The South Carolina Republican warned that the slight would not be forgotten, signaling fresh intraparty tensions as GOP leaders scramble to avert a shutdown while managing simmering resentment inside their own ranks.
