Sen. Lindsey Graham has been added to Russia's list of foreign terrorists, Politico reported on Tuesday.

"Russian state media first reported that Graham (R-SC), a long-time Russia hawk, had been added to the list, which is monitored by Rosfinmonitoring, the country’s state financial watchdog. That followed Graham blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin for Navalny’s death in prison last week," reported Kelly Garrity. "The 47-year-old Navalny’s death spurred international shock and outrage, though the top Putin critic was repeatedly targeted in recent years and was previously subjected to imprisonment and poisoning. His death came a month before a presidential election in Russia, where Putin is set to extend his more than two-decade term leading the country."
