LISTEN HERE: President Trump Reveals The “Strange” Timing Of Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Death

As WLT Report has previously reported, Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has died at the age of 71.

Details regarding Graham’s death are still coming, but the latest development is that he died “from a brief and sudden illness.”

President Trump has since given his first interview since Graham’s sudden death and revealed he was just on the phone with the South Carolina Senator the night before his death.

Trump, in the interview, noted it was strange that just before his death, Graham called him to say the Save America Act is “all set.”

Fox News provided quotes from Trump’s interview:

President Donald Trump says he spoke with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Saturday night just hours before the GOP firebrand’s sudden death.

Trump revealed the detail during an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday, saying they spoke in the early evening after Graham returned to Washington from Ukraine.

“So what makes it even stranger is that I got a call last night sometime. You know, the early evening, maybe in the sevens. And he called and he said, we’re all set for the Save America Act. He was pushing the Save America act like crazy. He got back, said he just landed from Ukraine and said, that’s a long trip to make. And he said – he sounded a little tired, but perfect, but a little bit tired. Had a right to be when he was a worker. He was really a worker,” Trump said.

“But he sounded great, actually… He said he was tired, but he wanted to pass the Save America Act. And I said, well, we’re going to get it done, Lindsey. We’re going to get it done. I’ll see you like soon. We thought maybe we might even meet today. And then that was it. And that was, you know, very around the time, it couldn’t have been much longer. It could have been his last call. I don’t know exactly, but I got a message about 1:00 in the morning from one of the people in his office that he had passed away. I said I just can’t believe it. He was like a member of the family to me. It’s very tough, actually. It’s amazing,” Trump added.

Trump later shared that Sen. Graham was a likable figure in the Senate and a great politician:

The New York Post provided details on the 911 call that was made on behalf of Graham:

Medics were called to Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Washington, DC, home over reports for a report of someone suffering chest pains — and then reported a man in his 70s suffering a heart attack before his sudden death on Saturday night.

In audio of an emergency medical response dispatch reviewed by The Post, a call is made around 8:30 p.m. for a person suffering chest pains at Graham’s $890,000 Capitol Hill townhouse.

Graham’s office said he died on Saturday night “from a brief and sudden illness,” but did not specify a cause of death.

Roughly 25 minutes after the first 911 call, emergency personnel reported that CPR was in progress, and a man at the house was suffering from cardiac arrest.

Emergency responders worked to stabilize Graham Saturday night, before he was transported to the hospital.

The initial emergency call was placed by someone in Baltimore who was en route to the senator’s home, reporting that someone inside was suffering from severe chest pains, according to the dispatch audio.

The dispatcher noted that the caller believed the front door was unlocked; however, first responders on the scene confirmed the door was dead-bolted, creating a brief obstacle for medical personnel attempting to gain entry to the house.
