Senate Ethics Admonishes Lindsey Graham for Capitol Fundraising

The Senate Ethics Committee has reprimanded Senator Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign contributions in a Capitol office building during a media interview in violation of Senate rules. The 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. Graham acknowledged his mistake and took responsibility for his actions. The admonishment amounts to little more than a slap on the wrist, but the secretive committee exists to police and punish members who break the rules.
