President Trump: “The FBI Is Wasting Their Time” Investigating The Death Of Lindsey Graham

President Trump has addressed the “conspiracies” floating around regarding the death of Senator Lindsey Graham.

While addressing the press inside of the Oval Office on Tuesday, the 47th President was asked by a reporter why FBI agents have been seen outside of Graham’s home.

Trump responded to the question by saying he believes the FBI is wasting their time and there was no “evil” behind Graham’s death.

President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he is aware of conspiracy theories circulating about the sudden death of his friend and ally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., but declared “the FBI is wasting their time” investigating the matter.

“I don’t see a lot of evil there,” Trump said. “I know there’s all sorts of conspiracy theories going along, and I think the FBI is wasting their time if they’re doing that.”

Right-wing influencer Laura Loomer questioned on social media: “Was he poisoned by a foreign adversary either abroad or upon returning to the US?”

Former GOP Rep. George Santos (N.Y.) also floated the idea that something could have happened to Graham.

“We need a full autopsy of Senator Lindsay Graham,” Santos wrote on social media. “I believe foul play could have been at play here.”

On Sunday, FBI Director Kash Patel said his bureau was “assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available” in the wake of Graham’s death, but the FBI has declined to comment on what they were looking for.

Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) Chief Jeffery Carroll also said Sunday that his team was leading the investigation into the death of Graham.
