Sen. Lindsey Graham’s phone and electronic equipment has been seized by the Federal Bureau of Investigations as part of an investigation the South Carolina senator is claiming is a routine hacking investigation.
According to Graham, who has been agitating for the United States to escalate both the Middle East crisis and the Russia-Ukraine war into full-scale worldwide conflicts, he received a scam message on his phone and was then forced to hand over his electronic devices to the FBI.
“So I get a message, I think, from Schumer. It ain’t from Schumer,” Graham, a South Carolina Republican, said Wednesday at the Hill and Valley Forum. “And next thing you know, my phone’s … Anything you can create apparently can be hacked.”
Taylor Reidy, a spokesperson for Graham, said the alleged hack is now under investigation by the FBI.
“The Sergeant at Arms is investigating a possible hack of Sen. Graham’s phone,” Reidy said.
A Democratic aide said Graham should have been instantly suspicious of any text message purportedly from Schumer because the Democratic leader is known for using an old-school LG flip phone — a relic from the 1990s, before texting caught on.

“Chuck Schumer isn’t texting you from his flip phone,” the source said. “If you get a text message from Schumer, it probably isn’t real.”
The FBI did not immediately respond to a request for comment regarding the investigation into Graham’s electronic devices.
One thing we know for sure is that anything Lindsey Graham says is not the truth.
