Trump Dismisses FBI Probe Into Senator Lindsey Graham’s Death as Baseless Conspiracy

US President Donald Trump publicly criticized the FBI's involvement in investigating the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, calling the probe a "waste of time." Speaking to reporters during a meeting with Iraq’s incoming prime minister, Trump questioned why the FBI was involved and emphasized that he had reviewed medical reports indicating natural causes for Graham’s sudden passing. He dismissed conspiracy theories surrounding the senator’s death as unfounded, noting a family history of similar medical issues.

Trump also addressed other topics, including the cancellation of a toll plan in the Strait of Hormuz. He explained that Gulf leaders preferred to invest heavily in the US economy rather than impose tolls, a proposal he welcomed. Regarding tensions with Iran, Trump stated that the US would not tolerate aggression, recalling that he had offered Iran a chance for a deal before they chose to attack, which he called a major mistake. He highlighted the strong military response that significantly degraded Iran’s military capabilities.

Additionally, Trump expressed support for Iraq’s new prime minister, Ali Al-Zaidi, describing him as a "gentleman" and affirming his backing for all of Al-Zaidi’s initiatives.
