Key Points:
- Newly released documentary footage reveals the late Sen. Lindsey Graham describing his campaign for war with Iran as “the best thing I’ve ever done” and likening President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu to Roosevelt and Churchill.
- British filmmaker Alex Holder captured over 400 hours of footage showing Graham’s close involvement in Trump’s second-term ambitions, including efforts toward war with Iran and Pentagon modernization.
- The documentary includes Graham’s calls with Trump, Netanyahu, and former national security adviser Jake Sullivan, highlighting his role as a trusted foreign policy advisor to Trump despite occasional disagreements.
- Some of Graham’s early predictions about the Iran conflict proved inaccurate, but the footage also features lighter moments, such as Elton John calling to sing Graham happy birthday.
- Holder plans to release the full documentary, "Lindsey’s Game," in the coming months, aiming to preserve Graham’s legacy and inspire public service.
