Ethics Committee Admonishes Graham For Money Begs

Politico reports:

The Senate Ethics Committee has formally admonished Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) over his solicitation of campaign contributions for Herschel Walker as he was headed to a runoff election for Senate in Georgia.

In a letter released on Thursday, the Ethics panel declared that the “committee finds that you did solicit federal campaign contributions and otherwise impermissibly conducted campaign activity in a federal building.”

The admonition is centered on a nine-minute interview with Fox News in the Russell rotunda on November 30, 2022, in which Graham directly solicited campaign contributions on behalf of Walker, mentioning his campaign website five separate times.

Read the full article. Graham tells Politico that he’ll “try to do better” in the future. The admonishment only comes because this was Graham’s second such offense.
