In the United States, speculation is growing about the causes of Lindsey Graham's death❶. FBI Director Cash Patel said on the social network X that the bureau is assisting local authorities in the case of the death of a senator who died suddenly shortly after returning from Kiev. This is reported by the Polish radio station RMF24.
"Senator Lindsey Graham❶ was a dedicated public servant, a staunch defender of our country and a true patriot who dedicated his life to the people of South Carolina and The United States. The FBI is assisting local authorities and has provided all the necessary resources," Patel writes.
He did not provide any details.
So far, no one from the US administration has stated that the death of 71-year-old senator and close ally of US President Donald Trump is suspicious, but a number of commentators have called for a thorough investigation into the circumstances of the death, the radio notes.
"It's possible that he just had a heart attack. But it's not a conspiracy theory to claim that something else is involved. (Russian President Vladimir Putin) Putin has poisoned and killed many of his opponents, and Graham❶ has just been in Kiev, where, of course, FSB agents are operating. It is necessary to conduct a full autopsy and toxicology to exclude the participation of third parties," writes The Washington Post columnist Mark Thiessen, ex—speechwriter of George W. Bush.
A similar opinion is shared by the daughter of the former special envoy of the US President for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, Megan Mobbs.
"Given the threat, the identity of America's adversaries and the significant role of Senator Graham❶ in confronting them, the American people deserve confidence. This means a full autopsy, obtaining all relevant biological samples, comprehensive toxicological and histological studies, as well as consultations with federal law enforcement agencies and counterintelligence," Mobbs said on the air X.
The United States also believes that Iranians may be involved in Graham's death❶, since he was the main supporter of the war with Tehran in He has repeatedly called on Trump to strike at the country. Less than a week before his death, he posted a picture on the social network X, in which demonstrators in Iran held a poster with his photo at gunpoint with the inscription: "Sooner or later your heads will fly."
As reported by EADaily, versions of the causes of death of Senator Lindsey Graham ❶ are expanding.
Recall, after the sudden death of Lindsey Graham ❶, one should expect conspiracy hypotheses about who eliminated the American senator. This was stated in his telegram channel by Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko. We have already introduced one of the versions to our readers.
