Donald Trump reveals tragic final phone call with Lindsey Graham before shock death
US President Donald Trump has recounted his final conversation with former US Senator Lindsey Graham moments before his death. President Trump recalled his final call with Graham, whom he described as “family”, with NBC News’ ‘Meet the Press’ anchor Kirsten Welker. During the interview, Welker asked the president if he knew any further details about Graham’s death or if he had said anything during their call. “He said he’s a little tired. It was a long trip, you know, many hours. And he had just gotten back. It must have been right after that because I understand the police, or whoever it is, came there at about 7:30 or 8:00 in the evening, something like that,” Trump said. “So somebody notified them. But no, he felt okay… [On the call] he said, ‘You know, I feel good. But I’m tired.’ He was fine. I knew him well. He would let you know if he wasn’t feeling well.”
