Sen. Lindsey Graham has also filed an appeal with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to delay his testimony in Georgia, which is supposed to take place next week.
Sen. Lindsey Graham's latest attempt to delay his testimony before the Fulton County grand jury investigating whether then-President Trump and his allies interfered in the 2020 presidential election has been denied by a federal judge. Graham asked for an emergency stay over the order to testify, pending appeal, and asked the district judge to halt the grand jury's ability to enforce the subpoena. That request was denied.
Graham had already asked a federal judge to quash a subpoena, arguing that he was performing"legislative acts" when he twice called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger after the election. Attorneys for Fulton County argued in court filings that Graham's actions were not legislative, that he was calling to"explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome" for Trump.
May wrote,"The Supreme Court has recognized that there are any number of activities a member of Congress might engage in that unquestionably fall outside the scope of protected legislative activity because they are, in fact, 'political in nature rather than legislative.'"
