Graham, who has become a close ally of the president, said that he and Trump had discussed the matter. He noted that there was 'a lot of common ground' on aspects of the proposal.
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., told CNN on Wednesday that the Senate Judiciary Committee will hold a hearing on gun control March 26, according to the outlet, which published the senator's comments Thursday.
Graham, who has become a close ally of the president, said that he and Trump had discussed the matter. He noted that there was"a lot of common ground" on aspects of the proposal. In February, the House of Representatives held its first hearing on gun control in eight years, and passed the first significant legislation on the matter in more than two decades. Democrats secured control of the House in January.
In March of that year, Graham and Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Ct., introduced red flag legislation that ultimately never went anywhere. Sen. Marco Rubio, D-Fla., introduced similar legislation that month that would have encouraged states to adopt such laws.
