Trump questions FBI probe into Graham’s death as medical findings point to an aortic dissection

President Trump questioned the FBI's investigation into Sen. Lindsey Graham's death, saying it seems unnecessary amid unfounded foul-play rumors.

The FBI offered to assist local authorities and agents were seen at Graham's DC home. South Carolina will replace Graham via appointment by his sister Darline, triggering a wide-open GOP primary for his seat.
