The Senate Ethics Committee reprimanded Sen. Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign contributions five times during a media interview in a Capitol office building in violation of Senate rules
The bipartisan committee sent a public letter admonishing the South Carolina Republican for soliciting donations to Herschel Walker’s campaign in the Russell Senate office building during a November 30, 2022, interview with Fox News. It is against Senate rules to solicit campaign donations in federal buildings. “The public must feel confident that Members use public resources only for official actions in the best interests of the United States, not for partisan political activity.
A Graham aide said the senator had completed almost a dozen similar interviews in the prior weeks “on the same matter from Washington, South Carolina, and Georgia.” The aide said Graham “simply did not remain sufficiently cognizant of the location from which this particular interview was being conducted. All previous interviews had been conducted ‘off-site’ and not on federal property.
