Senate Ethics Panel Admonishes Lindsey Graham for Fundraising on Capitol Grounds

The Senate Ethics Committee has admonished Senator Lindsey Graham for soliciting campaign donations during interviews at the Capitol, citing a repeat violation. The admonishment is a rare move by the panel, with fewer than a dozen senators being admonished since 2002. The letter from the committee's chair and vice-chair cites a November 2022 Fox News appearance in which Graham solicited campaign contributions for Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker five times. The admonishment is not accompanied by any material penalty, and Graham self-reported the conduct to the committee.
