New Book Reveals What Lindsey Graham Really Thought Of Trump's Election Fraud Claims
HuffPost
The South Carolina Republican may have dismissed the purported evidence but he remains a loyal supporter of the former president.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) dismissed purported evidence of electoral fraud in the 2020 election that was presented to him by Rudy Giuliani, then the personal attorney for ex-President Donald Trump, as suitable for “third grade,” according to a new book from Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Robert Costa.
As Trump ramped up his rhetoric about a stolen election and demanded the overturning of President Joe Biden’s victory in early January, Trump loyalist Graham asked for hard evidence to back up the allegations of a “rigged” vote, Woodward and Costa wrote in “Peril” released Tuesday.
Graham, who’d previously backed Trump’s claims, was then chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He sent the alleged evidence to Lee Holmes, the committee’s lawyer. Holmes “found the sloppiness, the overbearing tone of certainty, and the inconsistencies disqualifying,” per excerpts of the book released Monday by The Post. “The memos, he determined, ‘added up to nothing.’”
