The FBI is now assisting local authorities in the investigation, while global reactions pour in — including an unusual congratulatory message from Iranian state TV and a heartfelt tribute from former President Trump calling him a patriot. Despite appearing healthy days prior, Graham’s medical history, including longstanding blood pressure issues and his father’s cardiac arrest at 69, has fueled speculation. His recent trip to Ukraine with President Zelenskyy adds another layer to the unfolding story as details continue to emerge.
