Why we checked itSpecific legislative claim about a named act and its timing — verifiable whether this act exists, passed, and when.
What we foundCongress did pass the Lindsey Graham Act, but the claim overstates the timing and the act's effect: it was signed approximately 26 days before the debate (not ~2 months), and Trump had already waived most of its Russia sanctions provisions two days before the debate began.
