Sen. Lindsey Graham will be required to testify before a Georgia grand jury investigating the effort to overturn former President Donald Trump’s loss in the state after the Supreme Court declined to intervene Tuesday.
The brief order left in place a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit that would allow the grand jury to proceed with limited questioning of Graham about calls he made related to the 2020 election. Prosecutors have said they plan to have Graham testify Nov. 17.
Graham has fought the subpoena for months, arguing it would infringe his constitutional protections against being asked about “Speech or Debate” as a member of Congress who also was the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time.
