US President Donald Trump stated that he does not consider poisoning by Russia a likely cause of death for Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. According to him, the politician had serious health issues.
This is reported by Newsweek.
Host Greg Kelly asked the US President if Russia could have been involved in Graham’s death, given his critical stance towards Vladimir Putin.
“Russians have a habit of poisoning those they dislike, and Graham once called for Putin’s removal. Do you have any suspicions or concerns? Do we know the full truth about his death?” the host asked.
Trump replied that he did not share this version.
“To support a conspiracy theory, I would gladly say ‘yes’, but I think he had certain problems. His father died around the same age. He had quite deep problems that were not easy to detect,” said the US President.
He also stated that, according to doctors, a certain part of Graham’s body “literally tore apart.”
Lindsey Graham died on Saturday at the age of 71 after a short, sudden illness. Before that, he had returned from Kyiv, where he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
According to the preliminary conclusion, the cause of death was aortic dissection associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
