New allegations surface about Donald Trump blackmailing Lindsey Graham

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham went from such a vocal Donald Trump detractor to such a cartoonish Donald Trump cheerleader in overnight fashion, after the two men famously played a round of golf together. Since that time Graham has defended Trump in such bizarre fashion, it’s led to widespread questions about whether Trump told Graham that he had blackmail material on him.

There’s never been any proof of this, unless you count the sheer absurdity of Lindsey Graham’s ham handed attempts at helping Trump promote his deranged conspiracy theories. But now New York Times best selling author Don Winslow has revealed something alarming on Twitter.

Winslow tweeted this on Tuesday evening: “Have you wondered why Lindsey Graham has been defending Donald Trump like his life depended on it? A friend in federal law enforcement told me about a certain threat Donald Trump has made to Graham. It’s personal. It’s awful. And it’s working very well.”

Well okay then. Winslow hasn’t gone into any additional detail. But if this turns out to be accurate, it would explain a lot. It would also suggest that it’s being approached by law enforcement as a potential criminal act on Donald Trump’s part. And if this many people know about it, then it’s unlikely to remain a secret forever. If Lindsey Graham isn’t being blackmailed, then it means he’s simply lost his mind of his own accord.
