Sen. Lindsey Graham continues to spend thousands of dollars on expenses that stem from the Fulton County, Ga., investigation into former President Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election in the Peach State.
The Lindsey Graham Legal Expense Trust Fund paid over $56,000 for legal services and other fees related to the inquiry during the second quarter of 2023, according to his most recent disclosure filed with the Senate Office of Public Records in July. After approval from the Senate Select Committee on Ethics, senators are allowed to open such funds to pay for legal proceedings related to their Senate work.
Graham’s trust fund spending is separate from the $630,000 that his principal campaign committee, Team Graham, Inc., has spent on legal services since he filed to establish the trust fund in September 2022.
