The death of Lindsey Graham has sparked a wildfire of conspiracy theories, and as reports of a possible FBI investigation emerge, President Donald Trump says the agency is \u201cwasting\u201d its time. <\/p>\n

According to NBC News<\/u>, \u201cThe president was responding to reporters in the Oval Office who asked him why FBI agents were at Graham\u2019s home just blocks from the Capitol on Monday after the 71-year-old senator\u2019s death on Saturday night. \u2018I don\u2019t see a lot of evil there,\u2019 Trump said. \u2018I know there\u2019s all sorts of conspiracy theories going along, and I think the FBI is wasting their time if they\u2019re doing that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Washington\u2019s chief medical examiner said Graham\u2019s death was the result of \u201caortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease,\u201d or a rupture of his aorta due to a hardening of his arteries. While authorities are still waiting on the final results of toxicology and other testing, the preliminary diagnosis hasn\u2019t prevented the internet from erupting with conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

As NBC News explains, while appearing on Newsmax on Monday, Trump was \u201casked about the conspiracy theories swirling about Graham and whether Russia could have poisoned him. A key defender of both Ukraine and Israel, Graham had been pushing for tougher sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin and Moscow, and had just met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv the day before he died.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to answer the conspiracy theory, I\u2019d love to say yes, but I think he \u2014 he had some problems,\u201d Trump replied. \u201cAnd his father died just about at the same age. \u2026 I\u2019m a believer in the racehorse theory, you know, if you have problems, you have problems. And he had some problems that were a little bit deep-seated and not easy to find.\u201d <\/p>\n

That same day, \u201cNBC News observed nearly 20 FBI and other federal agents gathered outside Graham\u2019s row house on Capitol Hill. Multiple FBI agents entered the home and were seen taking photographs but did not appear to be removing items. FBI Director Kash Patel has said his agency is \u2018assisting local authorities\u2019 in the matter. And two law enforcement sources familiar with the scene on Monday said federal agents continue to investigate Graham\u2019s death out of an abundance of caution.\u201d But according to sources, \u201cno new evidence has arisen since Saturday night to indicate foul play.\u201d<\/p>\n
