FBI agents are apparently probing the sudden death of Sen. Lindsey Graham, after multiple agents were spotted in and out of his home in DC yesterday.
Graham suddenly died due to a ruptured aorta over the weekend.
According to reports and eyewitnesses, at least five agents were moving in and out of the Capitol Hill residence Monday afternoon, with one carrying a clipboard and another wearing latex gloves.

Jerrett Wilson from Fort Lauderdale, who has been staying at a nearby Airbnb on vacation, told The Post: “Saturday night we were coming back from dinner about 9:30, and the street was shut down. Paramedics, law enforcement, and as we were walking up, they stopped us.”
“We told them where we were staying at. They let us go, and as we were walking up there, we saw the gurney being rolled out with somebody on,” he said.
“There’s just been heavy law enforcement presence today with the FBI. I want to say the ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives] was out here as well, going in … the house and interviewing some neighbors,” he added.
FBI Director Kash Patel said over the weekend that the FBI “is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available” in Graham’s death investigation. Federal agents were dispatched to his home that day.
A law enforcement source told The Post there is no evidence of foul play linked to the Republican’s sudden death.
Graham had just returned from a trip to Ukraine, and his hardline stances against Russia and Iran prompted speculation online that perhaps a foreign actor had been involved in his death.
It was his 10th trip to Kyiv since the start of the war, and the senator’s bipartisan sanctions bill had recently been given the green light by the Trump White House to proceed through Congress.
However, President Donald Trump weighed in directly on the investigation today, calling it a “waste of time.”
In the Oval Office on Tuesday, a reporter asked the president if he was aware of why the FBI was involved.
“So I don’t see a lot of evil there,” the president said.
“I know there’s all sorts of conspiracy theories going along. And I don’t think the FBI — I think the FBI’s wasting their time if they’re doing that.”

“Well, I don’t know why, because I think, you know, he had a problem,” Trump continued.
“His father had a very similar problem, as you know.” Graham’s father died of a heart attack at 69.
“I wish he took better care of himself,” the president said, adding that Graham’s condition was “very hard to detect.”
In 1977, Graham’s father, Florence James Graham, died in his sleep of a heart attack at the age of 69.
Multiple sources who spoke with Graham shortly before his death told CBS News that he had complained of chest pains.
The medical examiner’s preliminary findings indicated Graham’s death was caused by an aortic dissection, a tear in the wall of the aorta.
