Trump questions FBI role in Lindsey Graham death probe
What's new: Trump pointed to preliminary findings of an aortic dissection and called the condition hard to detect.
President Donald Trump questioned why the FBI is involved in the investigation of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s death, arguing that preliminary medical findings point to a natural cause. Speaking in the Oval Office on Tuesday, Trump said Graham’s fatal condition was “almost undetectable” and that there was “not much you can do” if it occurs. A preliminary report from the District of Columbia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner found that Graham suffered an aortic dissection linked to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, though the final death certificate is still pending additional testing. The South Carolina Republican died Saturday in Washington, a day after returning from Kyiv.
