Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) says the FBI has his phone after someone tried to scam him by impersonating a communication from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), raising the possibility that one of the senators’ phones was hacked.
“My phone is in the hands of the FBI now,” Graham said at the Hill & Valley Forum in remarks reported by The Washington Times
“So I get a message, I think, from Schumer, it ain’t from Schumer, and next thing you know, my phone’s, I don’t know what. Anything you can create apparently can be hacked.”
Taylor Reidy, a spokesperson for Graham, said the possible hack is now under investigation.
“The Sergeant at Arms is investigating a possible hack of Sen. Graham’s phone,” Reidy said.
A Democratic aide said Graham should have been instantly suspicious of any text message purportedly from Schumer because the Democratic leader is known for using an old-school LG flip phone — a relic from the 1990s, before texting caught on.
