GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday suggested Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ firing of the FBI’s No. 2 Andrew McCabe should be looked at by a Senate panel to ensure “it wasn’t politically motivated.”

“I think we owe it to the average American to have a hearing in the Judiciary Committee, where Mr. Sessions, Attorney General Sessions, comes forward with whatever documentation he has about the firing, and give Mr. McCabe a chance to defend himself,” the South Carolina lawmaker said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I believe, when it comes to this issue, we need as much transparency as possible to make sure it wasn’t politically motivated.”

Sessions dumped McCabe late Friday — just two days before the G-man’s scheduled retirement — accusing him of lacking “candor” in meetings with federal investigators and leaking stories to the media.

The FBI’s Office of Professional Responsibility recommended McCabe’s firing based on a yet released report by the Justice Department’s inspector general.

The dismissal of the 21-year-veteran of the FBI on the verge of his retirement roiled Washington, with Democrats saying it was intended to put a chill on special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation and Republicans claiming it was needed to rein in a runaway federal agency.

Trump took to Twitter on Saturday and Sunday to fire off a series of tweets blasting McCabe, Mueller, the Russia probe and to deny that he “colluded” with Russia to disrupt the presidential election.

“Andrew McCabe FIRED, a great day for the hardworking men and women of the FBI — A great day for Democracy,” Trump wrote on Saturday.

Graham said the angles needed to be sorted out.

“I think President Trump believes that he’s been put upon by the FBI. He reads the texts between the two FBI agents in charge of the Clinton e-mail investigation showing a bias against him and support for her,” Graham said on Sunday. “And Mr. McCabe, the Office of Professional Responsibility, has recommended that he be dismissed.”

House Judiciary Committee chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte, the Republican chair of the House Judiciary Committee, said McCabe deserved to be fired.

“It was the appropriate decision given the reports of his having leaked internal information to the media and then giving false information about that misleading information to those investigating the matter,” the Virginia lawmaker said on Fox’s “Sunday Morning Futures.” ” These are very serious concerns and they tie into the overall concern about how the FBI handled investigations into the elections last year, so the steps are appropriate. ”
