Washington House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler on Thursday played a 1999 video of Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham arguing that"high crimes" don't"even need to be a crime," a statement that runs counter to a central Republican talking point in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial.
"What's a high crime? How about an important person hurt somebody of low means. That's not very scholarly, but I think it's the truth," Graham says in the video clip from President Bill Clinton's impeachment trial played on Thursday."I think that's what they meant by 'high crimes.' Doesn't even have to be a crime. It's just when you start using your office and you're acting in a way that hurts people, you have committed a high crime.
