NEW: Sen. LindseyGrahamSC set to testify today in Georgia after battle to quash appearance
Graham had fought ferociously against a subpoena lodged against him for over four months, putting up a fight unlike any other witnesses in the inquiry's crosshairs. But his efforts were dealt a death blow when the Supreme Court declined to block a lower court ruling earlier this month following myriad legal losses.
Weeks after that call, Trump called Raffensperger and underscored the need to"find" 11,780 votes, enough to overturn his 2020 election loss in the Peach State. That Trump call served as the impetus for Willis's initiation of the inquiry. A special grand jury in the matter was impaneled in May and has assisted with rolling out subpoenas.Graham was subpoenaed over the summer alongside other Trump allies such as lawyer Rudy Giuliani.
Prosecutors had to fight through the Fulton Superior Court for the initial subpoena and then through three levels of the federal judiciary as Graham's legal team filed petition after petition to scrap the subpoena. Technically, he still has court challenges, but they will likely be moot after his expected testimony on Tuesday.
