Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) wrecked Lindsey Graham’s claims of Biden corruption by bringing up the president’s daughter, Ivanka Trump.
Sen. Graham (R-SC) tweeted:
I love Joe Biden as a person but we are not going to give a pass to what is obviously a conflict of interest.

I believe Hunter Biden’s association on the Burisma board doesn’t pass the smell test.
If a Republican was in the same position, they’d certainly be investigated!

Rep. Swalwell responded:
Like a Republican president giving his unqualified child a @WhiteHouse job while she’s trademarking her name in China? You mean a Republican like that? https://t.co/rESDNWTMxz

Ivanka Trump should be under investigation by the Senate as she has been linked to using her position as a senior White House adviser for financial gain for years. Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner were initially denied security clearances because intelligence officials deemed their conflicts of interest to be a threat to national security.
If Sen. Graham is going to investigate imaginary Joe Biden conflicts of interest, he is going to be slapped in the face with Donald Trump and children’s conflicts of interest from within the west wing of the White House.
It isn’t 2016 anymore. The landscape has changed and Trump won’t be able to paint his opponent as corrupt because Ivanka Trump is in the White House.
