“Judge orders Graham to testify in Atlanta-area Trump probe"
"Investigators intend to query Graham about two phone calls with Georgia election officials that included a discussion of the process for counting absentee ballots.
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.
“The Court finds that the District Attorney has shown extraordinary circumstances and a special need for Senator Graham’s testimony on issues relating to alleged attempts to influence or disrupt the lawful administration of Georgia’s 2022 elections,” U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May wrote in a 22-page opinion rejecting Graham’s effort and sending the matter back to state courts for further proceedings.
In a statement issued later Monday through his Senate office, Graham indicated he would appeal the ruling.”
