Senator Lindsey Graham will not comply with a subpoena issued by a grand jury in Georgia investigating former U.S. President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
WASHINGTON - Senator Lindsey Graham will not comply with a subpoena issued by a grand jury in Georgia investigating former U.S. President Donald Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election, attorneys for the lawmaker said on Wednesday.
They said Graham was "well within his rights to discuss with state officials the processes and procedures around administering elections." The grand jury was selected in May to consider evidence in a probe launched after Trump was recorded in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call pressuring Georgia's secretary of state to overturn the state's election results based on his claims of voter fraud.Graham's attorneys said in the statement that the senator was being called as "simply a witness" in what they called "a fishing expedition.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, who convened the grand jury probe, said in an interview on Wednesday more subpoenas for additional Trump associates should be expected and declined to rule out a subpoena for Trump himself.
