Senator Lindsey Graham, representing South Carolina, addressed a range of issues on his social media account on October 7, 2025. His posts included updates about congressional hearings, remembrances of past events in the Middle East, and criticism of U.S. Justice Department investigations.
In a post at 13:59 UTC, Graham announced his participation in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing focused on oversight of the Justice Department. He stated: “I’ll be questioning @AGPamBondi at the @SenJudiciaryGOP hearing on oversight of @TheJusticeDept in just a few minutes.

Later that day, at 14:24 UTC, Graham reflected on the anniversary of attacks that occurred two years prior in Israel. He wrote: “We will never forget the barbaric acts of terror that occurred on October 7, 2023.
We continue to pray for the safe return of all who remain in Hamas captivity, and for peace in the Middle East.
God bless our friends in Israel. God help our friends in Israel. https://t.co/bjzbteO8t9“.
At 17:07 UTC, Graham expressed concerns regarding actions taken by federal investigators under previous presidential administrations. He posted: “From Crossfire Hurricane to Jack Smith spying on me and seven other Republicans, the Obama and Biden Justice Departments crossed every line.
They weren’t going to stop until President Trump and all his allies were taken down. https://t.co/4kfhWBfvEJ“.
The Crossfire Hurricane investigation was an FBI probe into potential connections between associates of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign and Russian officials during the 2016 election cycle. Special Counsel Jack Smith has overseen several high-profile investigations related to former President Donald Trump and other Republican figures.
Graham’s statements come amid ongoing scrutiny over past Justice Department actions and continuing tensions in U.S.-Middle East relations following attacks attributed to Hamas militants against Israeli targets on October 7, 2023.
