WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday turned away Sen. Lindsey Graham's plea to be shielded from testifying before a Georgia grand jury looking into President Donald Trump's bid to overturn his 2020 election loss.
With no dissenting votes, the court refused an emergency appeal from the South Carolina Republican that was filed by former White House counsel Don McGahn. He argued the senator was "immune" from being questioned under the Constitution's "speech or debate" clause.
The court's action has the effect of upholding a subpoena issued by the grand jury in Fulton County, Georgia.
