President Trump I spoke to Lindsey just before she died… And he was doing great!!!

President Trump says he spoke with Lindsey Graham hours before the senator died – and he thought Lindsey was doing just fine.
The commander-in-chief made this revelation to CNN. Jake Tapper during a phone interview Sunday morning in which Trump also said Lindsey indicated he was tired during their 6:30 p.m. call last night.
As you know, Lindsey deceased of a brief, sudden illness sometime after his call with Trump, according to his team. The exact cause of death has not been released.
CNN too got dispatch audio starting at 8:30 p.m….just 2 hours after his call with Trump…during which a caller reported that someone was experiencing chest pain and had apparently gone into cardiac arrest at Lindsey’s home.
TMZ DC photos obtained exclusively emergency medical services going to Lindsey’s home and taking her away in an ambulance shortly before she died.
In his conversation with Tapper, Trump said he learned of Lindsey’s death at 2 a.m. Sunday and, in his opinion, Graham must have died quickly given their call just hours earlier.
When Tapper tried to change the subject to the war in Iran, Trump got slightly annoyed and told the longtime CNN anchor, out of respect for Lindsey, that he wasn’t talking about the Middle East.
Trump later became a Supreme Court justice Brett Kavanaughsaying Lindsey’s “best moment was her defense of Brett Kavanaugh.”
You may recall… in 2018, Kavanaugh’s confirmation process was nearly derailed by allegations of sexual misconduct targeting his youth, culminating in Senate hearings highlighted by testimony from one of his accusers, Christine Blasey Ford. Kavanaugh finally I went through the process and was confirmed as a sitting judge of the Supreme Court.
Tapper ended the call with Trump by saying he would love for the president to return to his show, but Trump didn’t say more than what he would do to make that happen and that he wants CNN to “follow a normal path.”
