The Senate Ethics Committee has admonished Sen. Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign contributions for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker from a Senate office building.
During a Fox News interview in the Russell Building on Nov. 30, ahead of the Georgia Senate runoff election, the South Carolina Republican senator was making direct fundraising appeals for Walker, who was running against incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., the Ethics Committee said.
“The Committee further concluded that during your discussion of the senatorial run-off election, you directly solicited campaign contributions on behalf of Mr. Walker’s campaign committee, www.teamherschel.com, five separate times,” Ethics Chairman Chris Coons of Delaware and James Lankford of Oklahoma, the committee’s top Republican, wrote in a letter of admonition to Graham.
