Senator Lindsey Graham questions Peiter “Mudge” Zatko, former head of security at Twitter, during a Senate Judiciary Committee on data security at Twitter, on Capitol Hill, September 13, 2022, in Washington, D.C. After appearing to renounce his political relationship with Trump from the floor of the Senate on January 6, 2021, Graham has remained not only a steadfast supporter of the man's policies, but of the man himself. The scene is likely unsurprising to anyone who has followed the personal and pragmatic relationship between the two men. "He could kill fifty people on our side and it wouldn't matter," Graham allegedly told the authors, after noting during the conversation that Trump was a "fun guy" to hang out with. Meeting with a pair of reporters around the time of Donald Trump's first impeachment trial, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham reportedly described his political ally and friend as a "lying mother******" as the president sought to defend himself against charges of extorting the Ukrainian government for information potentially damaging to his political rivals ahead of the 2020 election.Īs he sought to publicly defend Trump, Graham-according to a newly released excerpt from the upcoming book The Divider: Trump in the White House 2017-2021 first reported by The Independent-reportedly told authors Peter Baker and Susan Glasser that he was cognizant of what the former president had done on the call but described impeaching him over it an "insane" idea before noting the president's grip on the party.
