The Senate Ethics Committee says Sen. Lindsey Graham violated the chamber's rules during a Fox News appearance last year when he requested donations for Hershel Walker’s campaign in Georgia.
publicly released by the panel, Democratic Chair Chris Coons of Delaware and GOP Vice Chair James Lankford of Oklahoma said Graham violated Senate rules during the Nov. 30 interview when he solicited funds in the rotunda of the Russell Senate Office building. It is against Senate rules to seek campaign donations in a federal building.
Graham responded in a statement: “It was a mistake. I take responsibility. I will try to do better in the future.”
