In a shocking turn of events, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham allegedly "threw Donald Trump under the bus" during his testimony to a grand jury investigating election subversion in Georgia, as revealed in a new book titled Find Me the Votes: A Hard-Charging Georgia Prosecutor, a Rogue President, and the Plot to Steal an American Election. The book, written by Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman, sheds light on Graham's statements during the grand jury proceeding.

According to the authors, Graham testified that if one were to tell Trump that "martians came and stole the election, he'd probably believe you." This statement paints a picture of the former president's unwavering belief in unsubstantiated claims of election fraud, even to the point of entertaining outlandish explanations. Graham reportedly went on to suggest to the grand jurors that Trump even cheated at golf.

The book cites a source familiar with Graham's testimony, and its publication next week is highly anticipated. It also mentions a peculiar encounter between Graham and Fani Willis, the Fulton county district attorney leading the election subversion case. Despite pursuing criminal charges against Trump and his allies, Willis decided not to charge Graham for his involvement in attempting to overturn Biden's victory in Georgia.

After testifying before the grand jury, Graham reportedly ran into Willis in a hallway and expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to tell his side of the story. Witness accounts describe a surprising moment when Graham hugged the Fulton county DA, who was actively pursuing legal action against Trump. Willis's response, according to a witness, was a dismissive "whatever, dude," which added to the peculiarity of the encounter.

The charges against Trump in Georgia now amount to 91, including the recent 13 criminal charges filed by Willis related to election subversion. In addition to these state charges, the former president is facing four federal charges, 40 charges pertaining to the retention of classified information, 34 charges in connection with hush-money payments to an adult film actor, civil lawsuits regarding his business affairs, defamation claims arising from a rape allegation, and attempts to remove him from the ballot for his alleged role in inciting the January 6th insurrection.

Despite the mounting legal troubles, Trump continues to dominate the Republican presidential primary. He enjoys significant support, having convincingly won in Iowa and New Hampshire. Trump's success in the primaries has put pressure on his last remaining rival, former South Carolina governor Nikki Haley, to drop out of the race. Meanwhile, Senator Lindsey Graham, though implicated in Trump's attempts to overturn the election, remains publicly loyal to the former president. This unwavering support has raised questions about Graham's previous statements criticizing Trump and his claim, made immediately after the Capitol attack, that he was finally "out" of Trump's camp.

As more details emerge from the grand jury testimony and with the publication of the upcoming book, the revelations about Graham's testimony shed new light on Trump's beliefs and Graham's evolving relationship with the former president. The political fallout from these revelations remains to be seen, but they undoubtedly add another layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battles surrounding Trump's presidency.
