Sen. Darline Graham (R-SC) told Smith that his office secured a subpoena in May 2023 for the phone records of her brother, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and that her brother was kept in the dark. She asked how he could have tampered with evidence that Verizon, not he, held.
“In May 2023, your office secured a subpoena for the phone records of my brother, Lindsey. ... Lindsey was kept in the dark, as were several senators you targeted. ... How the hell was Lindsey going to tamper with evidence he didn't even have in his possession?”
