Lindsey Graham, key ally of Donald Trump, dies after sudden illness
Republican served in Senate since 2003 and was sharp Trump critic before becoming one of his most loyal backers
He briefly sought the Republican presidential nomination in 2016 and was initially a sharp critic of Trump, then the insurgent frontrunner. He condemned Trump as a “jackass”, “a race-baiting bigot” and “the most flawed nominee in the history of the Republican party”, memorably warning on Twitter: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed … and we will deserve it.” Trump, in turn, dismissed Graham as an “idiot” and a “lightweight”.
Def. Best friends of Epstein not each other.
