Senate Ethics Committee publicly admonishes Lindsey Graham for campaign fundraising on Capitol grounds.

The Senate Ethics Committee issued an "admonishment" to Senator Lindsey Graham for violating Senate rules by soliciting campaign donations for Hershel Walker's Senate campaign in Georgia during a Fox News appearance in the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office building. The committee noted that Graham had also solicited donations in a media interview in the Dirksen Senate Office Building in October 2020. While the committee opted not to sanction Graham, they emphasized the importance of upholding the public trust and confidence in the United States Senate.
