A federal appeals court Thursday rejected South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham's bid to avoid testifying before an Atlanta grand jury investigating whether former President Donald Trump interfered in the 2020 election.
Graham citied the Constitution's speech and debate clause, asserting that the provision"provides absolute protection against inquiry into Senator Graham’s legislative acts."
At least twice, Graham called Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger and his staff weeks after the November 2020 election, trying to re-examine absentee ballots"to explore the possibility of a more favorable outcome" for Trump, according to court documents.
