President Trump Comments on FBI Investigation into Senator Graham's Death

President Donald Trump stated on July 14, 2026, that he believes the FBI is 'wasting their time' investigating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. Graham, who passed away on July 11, was a close ally of Trump. The FBI was seen at Graham's home following his death, prompting questions from reporters. Trump noted that he had reviewed medical reports indicating that Graham died from aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He mentioned that Graham had previously complained of back issues, which can be a sign of the condition. The FBI has not commented on Trump's remarks, but sources indicate that the investigation is ongoing without evidence of foul play. South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster appointed Graham's sister, Darline Graham, to complete his term, which ends in January.
