A federal judge has ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham to testify before the Atlanta-area grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election
A federal judge on Monday turned down Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bid to throw out a subpoena compelling him to testify before the Atlanta-area grand jury investigating Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.
“Senator Graham has unique personal knowledge about the substance and circumstances of the phone calls with Georgia election officials, as well as the logistics of setting them up and his actions afterward,” May wrote. “And though other Georgia election officials were allegedly present on these calls and have made public statements about the substance of those conversations, Senator Graham has largely disputed their characterizations of the nature of the calls and what was said and implied.
“ his potential communications and coordination with the Trump Campaign and its post-election efforts in Georgia; his knowledge of other groups or individuals involved with efforts to influence the results of Georgia’s 2020 election; and his public statements following the 2020 election—is of great significance to the issue presently before the Court,” May wrote.
May said that even if Graham contended that his phone calls to Raffensperger were part of his official business, that wouldn’t be enough to quash the subpoena — because Raffensperger and his aides said otherwise.

Judge: Sen. Graham must testify in Georgia election probeA federal judge on Monday said U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham must testify before a special grand jury in Atlanta that is investigating whether former President Donald Trump and his allies broke any laws while trying to overturn his narrow 2020 general election loss in the state. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis opened the investigation last year, and a special grand jury with subpoena power was seated in May at her request. The judge also rejected Graham’s argument that the principle of “sovereign immunity” protects a senator from being summoned by a state prosecutor.
