Sen. Graham will challenge Georgia grand jury subpoena in Trump election interference probe
A Fulton County judge on Tuesday signed off on subpoenas issued by a special grand jury in Atlanta to Graham and six attorneys — including former New York City Mayor and former federal prosecutor Rudy Giuliani — who worked directly for or informally advised Trump's presidential campaign in its effort to overturn PresidentThe subpoena issued to Graham said he made at least two calls to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff about "reexamining certain absentee...
In their statement Wednesday, Graham's lawyers said that as the then-chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, "Graham was well within his rights to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections." "Should it stand, the subpoena issued today would erode the constitutional balance of power and the ability of a Member of Congress to do their job," the lawyers said. Senator Graham plans to go to court, challenge the subpoena, and expects to prevail."
The Fulton County district attorney opened a criminal investigation last year after it was revealed that Trump had called Raffensperger on Jan. 2, 2021, while he was still president, and asked him to "find" him enough votes to overturn Biden's win.That call occurred four days before the U.S. Congress began meeting in a joint session to confirm the Electoral College victory of Biden.
A special House committee is investigating the riot at the U.S. Capitol that began that day, which for hours interrupted the joint session's work.
