ATLANTA — A panel of federal appeals court judges on Sunday postponed the testimony of U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham before a Fulton County special grand jury until a lower court hears arguments about the types of questions the South Carolina Republican can and cannot be asked due to constitutional protections for members of Congress.
The ruling, from two appointees of President Donald Trump and one appointee of President Bill Clinton, delays testimony from Graham that had initially been scheduled for Tuesday.
Late last week, U.S. District Court Judge Leigh Martin May had sided with Fulton prosecutors, ruling that pushing back Graham’s questioning as he requested “would greatly compound the overall delay in carrying out the grand jury’s investigation.”
