Prosecutors alleged in Graham's subpoena that he spoke to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the 2020 election and questioned him"about reexamining certain absentee ballots cast in Georgia in order to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome" for Trump. Graham's attorneys argued in their motion that his conversations with Raffensperger fall within the"legislative sphere," because his calls related to his responsibilities as then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee.
