Trump suggests there was no foul play in Graham's death
Preliminary medical findings indicate an aortic dissection, while law enforcement sources say no evidence suggests foul play in the senator's sudden 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.
