A new documentary features three men who allege Sen. Lindsey Graham paid them for sexual encounters, and one of the men says he was 17 at the time. One accuser identified himself as Kelvin in a clip shared by The Young Turks and said he told Graham he was 17, that he needed a promised $120, and that Graham reacted by telling him God would accept him; Kelvin also said Graham appeared to record the exchange. The reports link the payments to periods when Graham served in the U.S. Senate and note his long record of voting against LGBTQ rights. Journalists and critics have described the revelations as "far more dark" as they dig into dates, recordings, and the documentary’s sourcing. The coverage has prompted renewed scrutiny of Graham’s public record and of how the film corroborates the accusers’ accounts.
