Michigan Gov. Whitmer subpoenaed to testify in abortion rights case

A Lansing-area lawyer issued a subpoena Monday requiring Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to take the stand at a court hearing next week on the Democratic governor's legal effort to stop enforcement of Michigan's abortion ban.

Attorney David Kallman said Whitmer is the one who brought the case against his clients — Jackson County Prosecutor Jared Jarzynka and Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker — and they should be entitled to put her on the stand as the sole plaintiff in the suit.

"We have the right to question her on that and delve into that to get to the bottom of her claims," Kallman said Monday.
