Monday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told reporters that Don Trump Jr. should reply to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s summons to appear, but should refuse to answer any questions and “plead the Fifth”.

According to a report from The Washington Post. “You just show up and plead the Fifth and it’s over with,” Graham said.
The Senate Judiciary Committee chairman believes, however, that Trump Jr.’s attorney would “have to be an idiot” to allow Trump Jr. to endanger himself with exposure.
Graham said, according to the Post report, “This whole thing is nuts. […] To me, it’s over.”
The Daily Caller went on to report: “Graham appeared to shift his position slightly from a day earlier, when he told Fox Business that Trump Jr. should simply ignore the subpoena.
The Senate Intelligence Committee, chaired by Republican North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr, received scrutiny from many in Burr’s own party for its decision to call the president’s son for a second time.
“Apparently, the Republican chair of the Senate Intel Committee didn’t get the memo from the Majority Leader that this case was closed,” Republican Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul wrote via Twitter last week, referring to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s earlier declaration that the investigation was over.”
Do you think Graham’s advice is sound?
