ATLANTA — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich plans to fight a Fulton County subpoena seeking his testimony before the special purpose grand jury examining attempts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 elections.
Attorneys for the Trump ally plan to tell a Fairfax, Virginia, circuit court judge on Wednesday that the onetime Georgia congressman should not be forced to testify because of technicalities surrounding the decades-old law that lays out how states recognize subpoenas from elsewhere.
They also will argue that the Republican’s testimony is “not necessary” because Gingrich is already scheduled to speak to the Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol on Nov. 21.
