Graham's comments follow a New York Times report this week saying Trump wanted to fire Mueller last June.
Trump reportedly backed off of the order when White House counsel Don McGahn threatened to quit.
"Don McGahn, if the story is true in the New York Times, did the right thing, and the good news is the president listened," Graham said.
"The investigation needs to go forward without political interference, and I'm sure it will," he continued. “As a matter of fact, I think Mr. Mueller is the perfect guy to get to the bottom of all this, and he will.”
"I see no evidence President Trump wants to fire Mueller now," he continued. "I don't know what happened back last year, but it's pretty clear to me that everybody in the White House knows it would be the end of President Trump's presidency if he fired Mr. Mueller."
