Ughhh…
Via Washington Examiner:
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., says he will vote against secretary of state nominee Rex Tillerson’s confirmation if the Exxon Mobil CEO fails to pass his litmus test on Russia.
Graham wants Tillerson to support sanctions against Russian President Vladimir Putin and Putin’s closest associates in response to Russian cyberattacks on the Democratic National Committee and John Podesta, a top aide to Hillary Clinton. That would mitigate any worry Graham has about Tillerson’s acceptance of an Order of Friendship award from Putin.
But it might put the incoming secretary of state crosswise with President-elect Trump, who has disputed that Russia was involved in the hacks.
