The 2020 election-related phone calls that Sen. Lindsey Graham made to the Georgia secretary of state were “far outside of the norm,” said a prosecutor who wants Graham to testify in front of a grand jury.
In a Thursday federal court filing, Fulton County, Georgia, District Attorney Fani T. Willis, who argued against throwing out the grand jury subpoena, said South Carolina’s senior senator called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger “to further his personal, political interest alone.”
A Fulton County grand jury is investigating possible criminal interference in Georgia’s 2020 election and wants to hear from Graham about two phone calls he made to Raffensperger. Graham is not considered a target of the investigation and considered only a witness, his lawyers said.
