A federal judge rules GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham must testify before a Georgia grand jury investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election
In her written decision on Monday, US District Judge Leigh Martin May sent the case to the Superior Court of Fulton County to hear further proceedings on the US Constitution's"Speech or Debate" clause, the centerpiece that Graham's attorneys argued immunized the South Carolina senator from having to testify in this case.
"Senator Graham did not inject himself into Georgia's electoral process, and never tried to alter the outcome of any election. The conversation was about absentee ballots and Georgia's procedures," Graham's attorneys said in a court filing last month.
