President Donald Trump on Tuesday appeared to contradict the Washington, D.C. Medical Examiner’s preliminary findings about what killed South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham over the weekend when he told reporters that the aortic dissection that felled the Palmetto State Republican wasn’t related to blocked arteries.
Speaking in the Oval Office alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi, Trump was responding to a question about why FBI agents were seen at the senator’s home after his sudden death when he attributed Graham’s sudden passing to what he called “a problem” along the lines of what had killed Graham’s father decades ago.
