I am demanding an immediate, formal, and fully transparent investigation into allegations currently circulating that Senator Lindsey Graham may have engaged in financial activities connected to Russia’s war against Ukraine, including potential money laundering, sanctions evasion, or conduct that could constitute acting as a foreign agent—directly or indirectly—on behalf of a hostile foreign power. These allegations raise grave concerns about possible violations of federal law, including but not limited to: • The Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA) • Federal anti–money laundering statutes • Sanctions enforcement laws related to Russia • Campaign finance and foreign influence prohibitions If a sitting U.S. Senator has engaged in undisclosed financial relationships, facilitated funds connected to Russia’s war machine, or acted in a manner consistent with foreign influence while shaping U.S. policy, that would represent a profound breach of public trust and a direct threat to national security. Let me be clear: an investigation does not presume guilt. It establishes facts. But failing to investigate allegations of this magnitude—particularly when they involve a nation actively waging an illegal war—would be an abdication of Congress’s constitutional oversight responsibility. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is not an abstract geopolitical issue. It is a war defined by documented war crimes, mass civilian casualties, and repeated efforts by Russia to infiltrate and influence democratic governments. Any suggestion that an American lawmaker may have financial or operational ties connected to that war must be examined thoroughly and publicly. If the allegations are unfounded, a transparent investigation will clear them. If they are substantiated, accountability must be swift and uncompromising—regardless of seniority, party affiliation, or political convenience. No individual is above the law. No office grants immunity from scrutiny. And no democracy survives when credible allegations of foreign influence are ignored. Congress must act—now.
