South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham’s 2020 election phone calls ‘far outside the norm,’ Georgia prosecutor says

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.”
