Trans woman says Lindsey Graham paid her for sex

She had been a sex worker for nearly seven years at that point, and was accustomed to being paid for her time and discretion. She tells Them that’s why she thought nothing of being paid for roughly a half-hour of sex work on June 7 of that year by a man she claims was the late South Carolina Senator — and then-Republican presidential candidate — Lindsey Graham, who had announced his candidacy six days prior.

Snider says she didn’t initially realize who the man she had seen at the Washington Hilton was until he appeared on the mounted television of a divey New York City restaurant she and her friend were eating at just a week later.

Them reviewed screenshots of a June 7, 2015, text exchange appearing to arrange an appointment at a Washington hotel, as well as a dated advertisement Snider says she posted. Them cannot independently confirm the veracity of these messages.

Snider says an unidentified person who appears to message her at 8:48 a.m. asking about the timing of her earliest appointment is Lindsey Graham.

After agreeing to meet that afternoon at 1:30 at her hotel, the unnamed person asks, “Are you more of a top or a bottom?” The unnamed person then adds in the screenshots, “I am a bottom,” before Snider appears to tell the potential client to refrain from explicit conversation in the text thread.
