Court Pauses Order for Lindsey Graham to Testify

“A federal appeals court on Sunday temporarily paused a district court’s order requiring that Sen. Lindsey Graham appear before a grand jury probing plots to illegally influence the 2020 election results in Georgia,” CNN reports.

The Washington Post reports Graham had formally appealed a judge’s order requiring him to testify Tuesday, saying doing so would cause “irreparable harm” that would be “in contravention of his constitutional immunity.”

“The legal maneuvering is the latest sign of tension between prosecutors and high-profile witnesses in the Fulton County district attorney’s expansive criminal probe of alleged election interference by former president Donald Trump and his allies. After seeking repeated delays, Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former lawyer, testified for six hours last week.”
