'Trump Says Graham's Final Conversation With Him Was About the SAVE Act' [View all]

TPM, The Brief: "We heard a lot in the day after Lindsey Graham died at 71 about the way in which the senator played a key roll for the White House, explaining how the Senate worked to Trump. Given the president’s recent, monomaniacal focus on passing the SAVE America Act, the voter suppression legislation was, apparently, a key component of that relationship."

“ 'He literally called me about the SAVE America Act,' Trump told Meet the Press, describing his last call with Graham, which came hours before his death. 'Think of it: He’s traveling for many, many hours — thats a long flight, that’s a long trip. And he calls me about SAVE America Act.' Graham had returned from Ukraine Saturday."

“ 'He thought we were going to get it passed,' Trump continued. 'This is a big blow to the SAVE America Act, let me tell you.' "

"The president made similar remarks on other television programs Sunday morning."

Trump is such a lying piece of shit. Every time you think he can't sink any lower, he surprises you.
