They\u2019re just too conflicted,\u201d Graham told Sullivan, referring to Trump\u2019s son-in-law Jared Kushner, 45, and longtime confidant Steve Witkoff, 69, both of whom have been entrusted with sensitive diplomacy tied to the U.S. war with Iran.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s gotta be Rubio,\u201d Graham added, a notable remark from a senator who had pushed for the Iran war, suggesting he believed Secretary of State Marco Rubio, 55, was better equipped to handle the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Since the war began on Feb. 28, Kushner, whose official title is Special Envoy for Peace, and Witkoff, the Special Envoy to the Middle East, have served as Trump\u2019s key negotiators in talks with Iran, but repeated rounds of talks have failed to deliver a deal, and the war has dragged on.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a request for comment, a White House official told The Wall Street Journal that \u201cSteve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are excellent dealmakers whose results speak for themselves,\u201d defending the pair\u2019s role in the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>In the March footage, Graham told Sullivan that he believed the war would end within \u201cthree to four weeks.\u201d Another clip filmed weeks before his death shows the late senator expressing frustration over Trump\u2019s June memorandum of understanding with Iran, which the president has since declared void.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4293\">Trump Humiliated as Entire CNN Panel Unites to Rip Speech<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s letting this thing slip away,\u201d Graham is heard saying, according to The Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p>The late senator, who died suddenly on July 11 from a rare cardiovascular condition, had a complicated history with Trump, 80. The pair first crossed paths as rivals during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, when Graham branded Trump a \u201cjackass,\u201d a \u201crace-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot,\u201d and warned that he would destroy the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>But after Trump\u2019s victory, the two were persuaded to sit down for a \u201cmake-up\u201d lunch in March 2017, according to New York magazine, and by 2018, the former rivals had become close allies, regularly appearing together and bonding over rounds of golf at Trump\u2019s courses.<\/p>\n<p>Graham\u2019s doubts about Trump\u2019s chosen negotiators for the increasingly unpopular war in Iran have not been confined to him, with other conservatives raising similar concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade joined the growing chorus of criticism over Trump\u2019s Iran negotiating team, calling on the president to pull Kushner and Witkoff from the stalled talks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re business guys. They have not been effective in Ukraine, not been effective in Gaza. They have not been effective in this. They can\u2019t have three portfolios to begin with. We have a State Department for a reason,\u201d Kilmeade said, also arguing that Rubio was better equipped to lead the negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Trump himself has since expressed frustration with the process. After declaring the June preliminary deal over, the president said Kushner and Witkoff would continue talks, but described negotiations with Iran as \u201cjust a waste of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4291\">GOP Sounds Alarm Over \u2018Scary\u2019 Trump Voter Problem<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The Daily Beast has reached out to the White House for comment. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An ongoing documentary project about Lindsey Graham\u2019s life reveals the late senator privately casting doubt on whether President Donald Trump\u2019s handpicked Middle East negotiators could deliver an end to the war in Iran.
