“A federal judge in Georgia denied Sen. Lindsey Graham’s bid to avoid testifying before a Atlanta-area grand jury investigating interference in the 2020 election, rejecting the Trump ally’s claim that he was shielded from such scrutiny by legislative privilege,” USA Today reports.
“The South Carolina Republican had asserted that he was engaging in legitimate inquiries as a lawmaker under the Constitution’s speech and debate clause when he contacted Georgia officials following the 2020 election.”
Associated Press: “Prosecutors have indicated they want to ask Graham about phone calls they say he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff in the weeks following the election.”
