What does Lindsey Graham know about Trump that we don’t? An appeals court has frozen the U.S. senator Lindsey Graham’s testimony to a grand Jury

It’s part of an ongoing investigation on the former president Donald Trump’s actions pursuing to overturn a 2020 election defeat.

Graham, who is a republican says due to his post, he’s immune from being inquired about the investigations.

The decision to hold off the hearing, comes as a relief to the senator.

The appeals court also granted him permission to challenge testifying under the U.S. Constitutions clause for protecting lawmakers from being compelled to discuss legislative topics.

But he isn’t out of the investigation entirely.

As a close ally of Trump, many believe he has insight into the former presidents efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Well, if you’re asking, what could Lindsey Graham possibly know?

The Grand jury are particularly interested in hearing about two phone calls he made to Georgia’s Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff, allegedly searching for ways to review absentee ballots.

This probe is just one of the many legal fights embattling the former president. Recently, Trump’s home was raided by the FBI and he’s also being investigated by a congressional panel in regards to the January 6 Capitol riots.

Donald Trump previously falsely claimed that he lost Georgia because of voter fraud. Many say winning this state, significantly helped Joe Biden take the Presidency.

Despite facing a number of probes and investigations.

Donald Trump denies any wrongdoing.

In fact, it seems like he’s preparing to run for President.

Crude oil prices jumped over 3% on Wednesday as U.S.-Iran nuclear talks showed signs of faltering, pushing WTI futures above $65 per barrel. Axios reported disagreements over the venue and scope of Friday’s talks, while President Trump warned Iran’s supreme leader to “be very worried,” stoking fears of military escalation.

Tensions in the Persian Gulf added to the volatility. A U.S. F-35C shot down an Iranian drone near the USS Abraham Lincoln, and Iranian vessels threatened a U.S.-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz. The USS McFaul escorted the tanker to safety, highlighting the region’s fragile oil supply routes.

Despite the clashes, nuclear talks will go ahead on Friday in Oman, but uncertainty continues to drive oil market volatility, with traders closely watching both diplomatic and military developments.

The Washington Post has laid off hundreds of employees, marking what former executive editor Martin Baron calls “one of the darkest days” in the paper’s history. Approximately one-third of the newsroom staff were affected, as the company undertakes a so-called “strategic reset” to compete in a crowded media landscape.

The cuts hit key areas, including the sports desk, local coverage, international reporting, the books desk, and the flagship daily news podcast. Editor-in-Chief Matt Murray said the changes aim to prioritise national security, politics, science, health, technology, climate, and business coverage while positioning the Post for the future.

Critics have called out owner Jeff Bezos for his silence during the layoffs and alleged efforts to influence the paper’s political stance. Former editor Baron warned that the newspaper’s ambitions would be sharply diminished and its credibility could suffer.
