Trump suggests there was no foul play in Graham's death

  • On Tuesday, President Donald Trump dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, declaring the FBI is "wasting their time" investigating the matter.
  • Graham, 71, died July 11 of an aortic dissection, but online speculation surged after FBI Director Kash Patel cryptically posted the agency was "assisting local authorities."
  • Trump stated he had White House doctors explain the diagnosis, noting the condition is "very hard to detect" and citing his father's similar medical history.
  • Law enforcement sources cite no evidence of foul play, while South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster appointed Darline Graham Nordone to serve the remainder of the late senator's term.
  • Graham Nordone is expected to be sworn in at the Capitol on Tuesday, with a special Republican primary scheduled for Aug. 11 to fill the vacant Senate seat.
