Claims circulating on social media Sunday afternoon allege that U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham was assassinated, contradicting earlier reports confirmed by his office and President Trump that he died of cardiac arrest. The unverified claims, which have no supporting evidence, emerged hours after the senator's death was officially announced.
The source posted a claim Sunday afternoon that Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was assassinated, not died of cardiac arrest—contradicting multiple official confirmations of his death earlier Sunday. Graham's office, President Trump, and his official X account all reported that the 71-year-old pro-Israel stalwart succumbed to a sudden illness or cardiac arrest. The source of the assassination claim is a single source with no corroboration from any official or mainstream outlet. As The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday, Graham's death was confirmed by his office and by President Trump, who called him "one of the greatest senators." There is no evidence supporting the assassination claim, and it appears to be an unsubstantiated rumor. The claim remains unverified.
