    Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced Sunday that he plans a "full scale" investigation into who among his Democratic colleagues leaked Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's letter, accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault, to the Washington Post.

    Graham appeared on ABC News' "This Week" to discuss Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearings, and doubled down on harsh comments he made during his opportunity to question Kavanaugh, accusing Democrats of malfeasance, and implying that Dr. Ford was railroaded by operatives.

    "We're going to do a wholesale, full scale investigation of what I think was a despicable process to deter it from happening again," Graham said.

    "The FBI will do a supplemental background investigation, then I'm going to call for an investigation of what happened in this committee. Who betrayed Dr. Ford's trust?" he continued. "Who in Feinstein's office recommended Katz as a lawyer? Why did Ms. Ford not know that the committee was willing to go to California?"

    Graham was referencing several odd statements made during her testimony Thursday.

    Although Senate Judiciary Committee aides offered several options to Dr. Ford, allowing her to testify under oath near her home in California or in private, Dr. Ford seemed at a loss when asked why she chose to testify in D.C. in front of cameras. It seemed that Dr. Ford's attorneys hadn't told her she had a choice.

    During her comments during Brett Kavanaugh's testimony, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) indicated that she did not reveal Dr. Ford's letter, which listed out her allegations, to The Washington Post or The Intercept, and insisted that no one on her staff could have been responsible for the leak.

    Graham is expected to follow through on his threats.
