US Sen. Lindsey Graham, a longtime Republican from South Carolina and ally of President Donald Trump, has died following an aortic dissection, according to a preliminary finding from the Washington, DC, medical examiner. He was 71.

First elected to the US Senate in 2002, Graham came to embody the evolution of the Republican Party as a critic to Trump who turned fiercely loyal, eventually growing to be one of the president’s closest advisers on Capitol Hill.

But even as his fealty to Trump was unquestioned, the senior senator continued to be a vocal spokesperson for US intervention and leadership across the globe — often breaking with the more isolationist bent of Trump’s supporters.

Former Director-General of the National Agency for the Prohibition of Trafficking in Persons, Julie Okah-Donli, has alleged that some women fake pregnancies using steroids and later obtain babies to deceive their husbands into believing they gave birth.

Okah-Donli made the claim in a resurfaced interview on Tuesday during an appearance on the Kaa Truths Podcast, where she spoke about alleged fake pregnancy syndicates and baby trafficking in Nigeria.

According to her, women involved in the practice are allegedly injected with steroids that make them appear heavily pregnant.

“They are injected with steroids. So when they inject them with these steroids, it gives them the semblance of a pregnant woman. Their faces are bloated up, and their tummies are actually very big. They look pregnant, but they are not pregnant,” she said.
