Overview
- The New York Times published excerpts from a 2022 Fulton County special grand jury interview in which Sen. Lindsey Graham said, “You may outdrive him, but you’re not going to outdrive his caddy.”
- Reporters noted the remark contrasts with Graham’s earlier public praise of President Trump’s golf ability.
- Rick Reilly, author of Commander in Cheat, said the testimony confirms his reporting and offered to film Trump’s next round, pledging $100,000 if he wins without cheating.
- White House communications director Steven Cheung sharply attacked Reilly in a statement following the renewed allegations.
- Coverage referenced a 2025 video appearing to show a caddy dropping a ball in a favorable spot, and noted Trump has not commented on Graham’s remark as of January 17.
