WATCH: Lindsey Graham Funeral: Casket Of Late Us Senator Lindsey Graham Arrives At Capitol | N18G WASHINGTON, D.C., USA – Memorial service for Senator Lindsey Graham is held at the U.S. Capitol. Late Sen. Lindsey Graham's casket arrives at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda in Washington, featuring an Armed Forces escort ahead of a ceremony at the Washington National Cathedral. President Trump will deliver the eulogy at the funeral for Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy are expected to attend the service at the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., Tuesday. Graham, a four-term senator known for his close relationship to the president and his hawkishness on foreign policy, was a key player in a number of major bipartisan agreements before his death on July 11. He had just returned from a trip to Ukraine, where he visited Zelenskyy and told him of plans for new U.S. sanctions and tariffs against Russia. A medical examiner determined Graham's cause of death was an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease. He was 71. The services will begin with an arrival ceremony at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday, where Graham's remains will be carried by an Armed Forces Body Bearer team to honor his Air Force service, followed by a U.S. Capitol Police memorial guard in a nod to his tenure in the Senate. The ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda will be closed to the public. Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota said upon announcing the special ceremony in the Rotunda that "it seems fitting for his friends and colleagues to give back to him through this special Capitol honor." #lindseygraham #capitolrotunda #uscapitol #funeral #liesinstate #washingtondc #uspolitics #breakingnews #worldnews #latestnews #capitolhill #tribute #livenews #usnews #politicalnews
