Vowing to "stand with" President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., announced Thursday night he is donating $500,000 to Trump's legal defense fund.
"I'm here tonight to stand with President Trump," Graham told Fox News' "Hannity." "He stood with me. He's the reason we're going to have a Senate majority. My race was overwhelming. He helped Senate Republicans, we're going to pick up House seats, because of the campaign that President Trump won.
"I'm going to donate $500,000 tonight to President Trump's defense legal fund."
Graham began by calling out "suppression polling" that he claimed was intended to defeat Trump and other Republicans before the Nov. 3 election.
"It's a game they play with their polling to depress the Republican vote," Graham told host Sean Hannity.
"Give to DonaldJTrump.com, so we will have the resources to fight," Graham added. "The allegations of wrongdoing are earth shattering. It makes the Carter Page warrant application look on the up and up.
"Senate Republicans are going to be briefed by the Trump campaign Saturday, and every Senate Republican, and House Republican needs to get on television and tell this story."
Amid calls from some the Republican Party is not vocally backing Trump's election fraud challenges, Graham said "everything should be on the table."
"There is the process of observing an election that's being violated," Graham continued. "Philadelphia elections are crooked like a snake. Why are they shutting people out? Because they don't want people to see what they're doing.
"You are talking about a lot of dead people voting. You are talking about in Nevada people are not legal residents."
Graham expressed confidence in Arizona's GOP Gov. Doug Ducey in defending the integrity of the election process, unlike other Democrat governors in states like Nevada and Pennsylvania.
"Doug Ducey said this is coming down to a couple thousand votes, one way or another," Graham concluded. "I trust Arizona. I don't trust Philadelphia. I don't trust Nevada. So, everything should be on the table. Let stand with President Trump. He stood with us."
