WASHINGTON — A Georgia prosecutor urged the Supreme Court on Thursday to force Sen. Lindsey Graham to testify before a grand jury investigating the effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the state.
Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton County, told the court in a filing that an appeals court had correctly decided that the South Carolina Republican could not duck all questions about his calls to state election officials because of his status as a member of Congress.
Graham has asked the high court to pause a court ruling that cleared the way for him to be called to testify before the grand jury, even though his appeal of the merits of that ruling is still pending at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit.
