A group of Senate Republicans, led by Lindsey Graham and John Cornyn, are calling for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate former President Barack Obama's alleged involvement in the 2016 Russia election interference probe. The senators claim that Obama may have played a role in efforts to undermine Donald Trump’s campaign, echoing longstanding accusations from Trump and his allies. Critics, including some conservative pundits, argue that such an investigation is redundant, as similar probes have already taken place and found no evidence of wrongdoing by Obama. The Department of Justice has so far declined to appoint a new special counsel. The move is widely seen as a political effort to appease Trump supporters and keep the issue in the public eye ahead of upcoming elections.
