- South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham threw former President Donald Trump under the bus when he testified before a Georgia grand jury, a new book claims
- In Find Me The Votes, Graham reportedly told grand jurors that Trump would believe ‘Martians came down and stole the election’
- Trump’s top ally on Capitol Hill also reportedly told the panel that the ex-president and 2024 hopeful cheated at golf
South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham threw former President Donald Trump under the bus when he testified before a grand jury in Georgia, a forthcoming book claims.
In the book Find Me The Votes, veteran journalists Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman wrote that once Graham was forced by the Supreme Court to testify in the Georgia election interference investigation, he had many colorful things to say.
Citing a source familiar with the secret testimony, Isikoff and Klaidman wrote that “Graham testified that if you told Trump ‘Martians came and stole the election,’ he would probably believe you.”
Graham, a Trump ally after the senator withdrew from the 2016 election, also told the grand jury that “Trump cheated at golf,” something the former president and 2024 hopeful has denied.
The authors also wrote that the South Carolina Republican was spotted by a source hugging Democratic Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis after he gave his testimony.

“After Graham finished testifying,” Isikoff and Klaidman wrote, “he encountered Fani Willis in a hallway and thanked her for the opportunity to tell his story.”

“That was so cathartic,” he reportedly told Willis. “I feel so much better.”
To the author’s source’s “astonishment,” Graham “embraced the Fulton County district attorney who aggressively pursued Trump.”
Willis’ response, the source said, was like “whatever, dude.”
Politico first obtained a copy of the book.
The Fulton County district attorney is currently embroiled in a controversy over whether she hired her lover to be the lead prosecutor in the Trump investigation — with one of the defendants in the case claiming she enriched herself with travel on his salary.
She has denied wrongdoing.
Find Me The Votes will be released on Tuesday.
The book focuses on Trump’s efforts in Georgia to overturn President Joe Biden’s victory in the classically red state.
Promotional material for the book teases that new information will be revealed about a plot to illegally seize voting machines in the wake of the 2020 vote, as well as Trump’s election lawyer Sidney Powell’s attempt to obtain a preemptive pardon.
Powell is one of the defendants in the Georgia case.
New communications between Trump and his co-conspirators will also be revealed.
