President Donald Trump addressed questions regarding the death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham. Graham passed away on Saturday at 71 after what was described as a ‘brief and sudden illness.’ His office reported that he had recently returned from Kyiv, having met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday.

Preliminary medical findings linked his death to an aortic dissection associated with arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. This information was shared in an official statement.

During an interview on Monday, Newsmax anchor Greg Kelly questioned Trump about the possibility of Russian involvement, given Russia’s history of poisoning opponents. Kelly reminded that Graham had previously called for action against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In response, Trump dismissed the idea of a conspiracy. He acknowledged Graham’s long-standing health issues, suggesting they might have been hereditary. Trump mentioned, “His father died just about at the same age,” indicating genetic factors could be involved. He also shared that medical professionals noted a part of Graham’s body “blew up.”

This story is still developing, with additional details expected.
