Summary
Trump said White House doctors told him Lindsey Graham's fatal aortic dissection was "almost undetectable" and that little could have been done once it struck.
The comments came after questions about FBI agents reportedly at Graham's home; Trump said he saw no sign of foul play and that the bureau may be wasting its time.
Graham, 71, died in Washington on Saturday, a day after returning from Kyiv; his office cited preliminary medical examiner findings of aortic dissection tied to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease, with final results still pending.
Dr. Mehmet Oz and Fox News analyst Marc Siegel separately said the condition can emerge within minutes or days, is hard to recognize, and often leaves little time for intervention.
South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster chose Graham's sister, Darline Graham, to serve the rest of his Senate term through Jan. 3, 2027.
