Senator Dianne Feinstein, the judiciary panel’s top Democrat, said Senator Lindsey Graham wants “unbridled authority to go after Obama-era officials,” including Biden’s presidential campaign chairman, Steve Ricchetti, “to bolster the president’s conspiracy theories.”Graham’s request for subpoena power, which requires committee approval, is part of his scrutiny of a Justice Department probe that led to former U.S.
