Sen. Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, criticized the fraud case brought against former President Donald Trump by New York Attorney General Letitia James, calling it a “friggin’ joke.”
Mr. Graham told Fox News host Sean Hannity Monday night that he believes Ms. James filed the civil suit for political reasons.
“So she has used Donald Trump to elevate herself politically. She is trying to get ahead at Donald Trump’s expense,” he said. “The judge has ruled that President Trump committed fraud, and nobody got defrauded. The judge believes that Mar-a-Lago is worth $18 million. What a friggin’ joke!” The judge wrote that Mr. Trump, adult sons Eric and Don Jr., and other defendants fraudulently increased the value of properties including Mar-a-Lago in Florida, the former president’s Fifth Avenue apartment, 40 Wall St., Trump Park Avenue, golf courses and an upstate New York estate.
