Senate Ethics Admonishes Lindsey Graham for Fundraising on Capitol Grounds

The Senate Ethics Committee has formally admonished Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham over his solicitation of campaign contributions for Herschel Walker as he was headed to a runoff election for Senate in Georgia. The admonition is centered on a nine-minute interview with Fox News in the Russell rotunda on November 30, 2022, in which Graham directly solicited campaign contributions on behalf of Walker, mentioning his campaign website five separate times. The Ethics panel declared that the “committee finds that you did solicit federal campaign contributions and otherwise impermissibly conducted campaign activity in a federal building.”
