The New York Times reported that Graham contacted President Biden in mid-November, while also publicly supporting the former President TrumpDonald Trump Tom Cotton calls on Biden to “destroy all Taliban fighters” near Kabul Trump criticizes Biden for not “following the plan” he left on Afghanistanattacks on election results.

Last year, Graham demanded that a special advocate be appointed to investigate Hunter Biden’s trade relations in Ukraine and China, calling it a “good idea” to verify whether “crimes have been committed”.

Although he is ready to work with any Republican, sources close to the president told The Times he viewed the attacks on his family as unforgivable.

President Biden scorned what he saw as Graham’s attempts to have it both ways, sources told The Times.

When contacted for comment by The Hill, a representative from Graham’s office said he took issue with the Times information. His office said it was the president who called Graham.

“Lindsey was a personal disappointment because I was a personal friend of his,” President Biden later said in an interview in December. Despite being on either side of the aisle, the two had long shared a friendship as fellow Senate colleagues, each expressing admiration for each other.

In an interview, Graham once described the President as “a man as good as God ever created him.”

However, after President Biden’s disappointing remarks, Graham retaliated by saying, “It’s not personal and it breaks my heart that this has happened, but I’m determined to make sure we live in a country where everyone is watched when there is a pattern. “
