Occurrences
U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) and a bipartisan group of United States Senators are visiting Saudi Arabia. The Senate delegation will meet with Saudi officials to discuss current political affairs in the region.
Evidence
Senator Lindsey Graham and a bipartisan Senate delegation arrived in Saudi Arabia and will meet with Saudi officials to discuss current political affairs in the region.
Graham met Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman in Washington and said he was 'looking forward to visiting Saudi Arabia soon.'
The Senate office said Senator Lindsey Graham and a bipartisan group of senators were visiting Saudi Arabia and would meet with Saudi officials to discuss current political affairs in the region.
Assessments
Official Senate press releases document that Lindsey Graham traveled to Saudi Arabia with a bipartisan Senate delegation and was to meet Saudi officials to discuss current political affairs in the region, which matches the claim directly. Later reporting about continued interest in another visit does not change that the original travel and meetings occurred.
A primary Senate press release (Oct 20, 2023) documents Senator Graham arriving in Saudi Arabia as part of a bipartisan Senate delegation and stating the delegation would meet with Saudi officials to discuss regional political affairs. That directly matches the claim. Later reporting about additional meetings in Washington (Jan 2026) indicates continued engagement but does not alter that the original travel-and-meeting claim was fulfilled.
